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 …

Modeling and optimizing mission abort policies have received intensive research attention
in the past decade. While most of the existing models assumed single-attempt missions, few …

Mission abort has recently attracted considerable attention to enhance the safety of critical
systems during the primary mission (PM). Most of the existing research focuses on mission …

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

For systems operating in random environments, shock number threshold-based mission
abort policies (MAP) have been modeled and optimized for balancing the mission success …

Deepwater oil and gas equipment is a complex and dynamic system that requires thorough
risk assessment during its operation. Existing methods such as fault tree analysis, failure …

This article investigates the optimal joint inspection and mission abort policies for
deteriorating systems which execute a mission continuously. The system degradation is …
