Note: This training deck is primarily composed of instructional screenshots (numbered dialog boxes, toolbar callouts, field highlights). The text below preserves all extractable slide text — titles, bullet points, discussion/exercise headings, and table content. Where a slide is dominated by an unlabeled screenshot, only the caption and step-list text could be extracted; screenshot visual detail itself is not represented.

DISCUSSION 1.4.1 MISSION PROFILE OVERVIEW

What is the Mission Profile? How does this relate to the System/Project? Why do Mission Profile before the Model? What does solution-independent Mission Profile mean?

Session 1.4: Mission Profile Definition

DISCUSSION 1.4.1 MISSION PROFILE OVERVIEW

The Mission Profile defines the various different ways the system can be used as well as the duration of operation for the System/Project. The duration of the Mission Profile will be utilized for reliability calculations. Further details of the Mission Profile can be added as the model is developed such as Duty Cycle, Success Metrics, etc.
