MDA GLOSSARY, VER. 4.0 O 211 Operational Assessment , k) V9 G" B# D% q' }. ^. t% x# WAn evaluation of operational effectiveness and operational suitability made by an 5 c/ h5 l( q6 r8 D# _: mindependent operational test activity, with user support as required, on other 8 I! d- F2 |+ }than production systems. The focus of an operational assessment is on significant trends noted in development efforts, programmatic voids, areas of risk, adequacy of requirements, and the ability of the program to support adequate operational testing. Operational assessments may be made at any time using technology demonstrators, prototypes, mockups, engineering development models, or simulations but will not substitute for the independent operational test and evaluation necessary to support full production decisions. Operational Availability The degree, expressed in terms of 1.0 as the highest, to which one can expect ! ]& f: X2 }5 M7 n1 D2 |equipment or weapon systems to work properly when required. The equation is m8 h. l; v( ~& ]uptime over uptime plus downtime, expressed as Ao. It is the quantitative link A- j7 G& |( V: M3 g. @3 U1 ?' ~between readiness objectives and supportability. Operational Concept An end-to-end stream of activities that defines how force elements, systems, $ i* Z9 h9 t2 \organizations, and tactics combined to accomplish a military task. 7 e$ u- K' X) z! ^* ?1 y8 qOperational : t, i$ R* O! r& q" eControl (OPCON) Transferable command authority that may be exercised by commanders at any 2 D! ?% c A4 k2 Z6 e/ q! K! g" xechelon at or below the level of combatant command. Operational control is inherent in Combatant Command (command authority) and is the authority to perform those functions of command over subordinate forces involving r( f1 U/ a. h7 C$ Eorganizing and employing commands and forces, assigning tasks, designating # H. o/ C9 n3 k0 M7 T ?( pobjectives, and giving authoritative direction necessary to accomplish missions assigned to the command. Operational control should be exercised through the commanders of subordinate organizations; normally this authority is exercised through the Service component commanders. Operational control normally provides full authority to organize commands and forces and to employ those forces, as the commander in operational control considers necessary to ! P3 q/ `6 y' P% p- |& iaccomplish assigned missions. Operational control does not, in and of itself, include authoritative direction for logistics or matters of administration, discipline, internal organization, or unit training. Operational Effectiveness The overall degree of mission accomplishment of a system when used by representative personnel in the environment planned or expected (e.g., natural, & g/ [$ K$ z* x6 U- H5 z+ v% u) f6 b% Qelectronic, threat, etc.) for operational employment of the system considering organization, doctrine, tactics, survivability, vulnerability, and threat (including + M, Q4 ^+ `1 a9 g1 C& U" K* O1 o3 u* ncountermeasures, initial nuclear weapons effects, nuclear, biological, and _ `/ G+ D! k# t S* Ychemical contamination (NBCC) threats).
