In order to evaluate and compare the advantages and disadvantages of missile weapon systems and assist commanders in making optimal decisions, quantitative scales must be used to measure the effectiveness of missile weapon systems. This paper introduces the concept of missile weapon system effectiveness, expounds the importance and necessity of effectiveness evaluation, summarizes the relevant models, common methods and development process of effectiveness evaluation, analyzes the problems faced by missile weapon system effectiveness evaluation, and looks forward to the development trend of this research field.
