Abstract: Considerable attention has been given to load adjustment and mission abort strategies, aimed at striking a balance between advancing mission success and mitigating system failure risk. Existing studies predominantly center on optimizing loading and abort policies without factoring in potential constraints governing abort decisions. In practice, however, there are instances where aborting the mission is not viable during specific stages. For example, submarines may be prohibited from aborting missions and surfacing for rescue operations due to confidentiality reasons. This paper investigates the joint optimization of condition-based mission abort and dynamic load adjustment strategies, while considering limitations on aborting missions. Specifically, the load is dynamically modified based on mission progress and system condition, and missions are terminated during permissible stages to ensure system safety. An example of an integrated minesweeper vehicle is used to illustrate the proposed model and obtained results.
