Mission Performance Model

Abstract

Mission Performance Models (MPM) are important to the design of modern digital avionic systems because the flight deck information is no longer obvious. In large-scale dynamic systems, necessary responses to the incoming information model should be a direct correspondence. A Mission Performance Model is an abstract representation of the activity clusters necessary to achieve mission success. The three core activity clusters are trajectory management, energy management, and attitude control and will be covered in detail. Their combined performance characteristics highlight the vehicle's kinematic attributes, which then anticipates unstable conditions. Six MPM are necessary for the effective design and employment of a modern mission-ready flight deck. We describe MPM and their structure, purpose, and operational application. Performance models have many important uses including training system definition and design, avionic system design, and safety programs.
