Global Mission Sensitivity Study for Phased MissionSystem with Analysis of Variance Method

A comprehensive mission sensitivity analysis index based on Sobol＇s index called global mission sensitivity（ GMS） was proposed in this paper which focused on analyzing the mission sensitivity of components of phased mission systems（ PMS）. The simulation strategy of GMS based on a Petri net and Monte Carlo method was presented which had broad applicability. Finally,the GMS and Birnbaum＇s sensitivity of components in a PMS example were compared. The GMS of component is demonstrated to be more adaptable to reflect the component mission sensitivity when the rated reliability parameters of components cannot be obtained, and components have state dependency or the system is subjected to common cause failure.
