Optimizing a prelaunch checkout.

TL;DRAbstract

This paper addresses the problem of making design decisions for time-limited checkouts of ballistic missiles and develops (a) quantitative criteria for the value of inclusion of individual checks in the checkout, (b) an expression for the required efficiency of the checkout equipment, and (c) a mathematical method for determining the content of a theoretically optimum checkout. A brief example is included. The method developed can also be used to ascertain the launch confidence of existing systems.
