The paper has been intended to deliver a brief introduction to the forecast on the potential military advantages for some selected aircraft using data from the TURAWA and SAMANTA computer-based systems for tracking aircraft operation and maintenance. The term "operational effectiveness" of a military aircraft may be read as a sum of effects gained from particular sorties by this aircraft. In the simplest case, the operational effectiveness is nothing more but the number of destroyed hostile targets. The number of destroyed hostile targets is a random variable. With account taken of hostile counteractions and unreliability of engineered systems, the number of possible sorties by one aircraft is also a random variable. Therefore, the assessment of predicted operational effects gained by the aircraft may result from, either: a single operational (combat) flight (sortie) by one aircraft or flights (sorties) within some assumed time interval (time of an air mission), or the aircraft's total lifetime (service life). Findings of the study may find their application in an attempt to use the data collected in the TURAWA and SAMANTA systems to construct rates of aircraft effectiveness in the forms of: expected value of effects gained from a single sortie, expected value of effects gained from some assumed time interval (flying time), expected value of effects gained throughout the aircraft’s service life. All the relationships gained may then be applied to forecast the effectiveness of operating some selected types of aircraft using data collected throughout the service, and verified under field conditions while performing exercises.
