How do you determine that an objective is achieved?

• A. All Measures of Performance (MP) for that objective are attained
• B. The objective is deemed achieved after stakeholder approval
• C. The UAS completes the mission regardless of performance
• D. Stakeholders approve the mission

Answer: (A)

Measuring when an objective is achieved rests on whether all defined measures of performance are attained. Each objective includes specific MP that describe exactly what observable actions or results prove success under the given conditions. When every MP for that objective is met, the objective is achieved because the required capabilities have been demonstrated consistently. Approvals or completing the mission without meeting those performance criteria don’t prove the objective was achieved, since they don’t verify that the necessary capabilities were demonstrated or safety standards met.
