Abstract
ABSTRACT With increasing awareness of the importance of taking a Total Ship Systems approach to the evaluation, development, and design of Navy ships, Mission Effectiveness Analysis is becoming a driving force in naval ship design. Shrinking defense budgets demand that our navy carefully structure its future fleet to achieve the highest possible combat capability within available funding. As part of the DOD 5000.2 acquisition process, any new shipbuilding program requires an Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) of all design options before proceeding with preliminary design. Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs) must be developed for the AoA to accurately rank several ship concepts across a broad range of missions. This paper describes a general MOE analysis method, as well as a new model which uses nine MOEs to compare a mix of existing ships and new ship concepts acting together as a task force. Results from a sample analysis of two new designs will be presented.
