Abstract
A crucially important aspect for mission-critical robotic operations is ensuring as best as possible that an
autonomous system be able to complete its task. In a project for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) we
are developing methods to provide such guidance, specifically for counter-Weapons of Mass Destruction (C-WMD)
missions. In this paper, we describe the scenarios under consideration, the performance measures and metrics being
developed, and an outline of the mechanisms for providing performance guarantees.
