Due to rapid advancements on the Internet of Things (IoT), unmanned aerial vehicles
(UAVs), also known as drones, are transforming numerous military and civil application …

This paper reviews works that consider the mathematical modelling of mission-abort policies
(MAPs). In a MAP, a valuable, and perhaps, vulnerable system performs a mission with two …

For safety‐critical systems such as aircrafts and submarines, mission abort is commonly
deployed to enhance system survivability at the cost of reducing mission success probability …

In the existing studies, the positive effects of a protective device on the reliability of balanced
systems have not been attached importance, and the research on protective devices is …

In this paper, a balanced system consisting of several multi-state components is considered
to work during multiple sequential stages. The system is balanced when the largest state …

In this paper, a consecutive-k-out-of-r-from-n subsystems: F balanced system with load
sharing is proposed, which takes both linear and circular structures into consideration. Such …

Unmanned vehicles are often required to execute critical missions in harsh environment,
causing system failure which may occur during the mission execution or rescue procedure …

This paper is an attempt to explore optimal routes and aborting strategies of trucks and
drones under random attacks. Time windows of targets, aborting strategies of trucks and …

Though intensive research efforts have been devoted to the study of mission aborting rules
(MARs) for diverse types of systems, no previous work has discussed this problem for …

Mission abort policies have been investigated for both single-attempt and multi-attempt
missions in the last decade. The existing models typically assumed a single task performed …
