| As the main weapons which could attack beyond-the-horizon ships and vessels, the Anti-Ship Missile (ASM) plays vital role in the future naval operations. With the arriving of the 21st century, the emergence of info-equipments, such as EW-airplanes, data links, high-performance radars and high-speed communication networks etc. has greatly enhanced the information quality (IQ) in operations, which causes the operational idea, theory and tactics changed greatly, thus improves the operational effects very much. IQ has been one of the keys which determine the operational effect of ASM. By analyzing how IQ affects the operational effects of ASMs, we may discover and overcome the information bottlenecks of current ASM operational systems, and could also support the proof of new info-equipments and the innovation of their related strategies and tactics. IQ has a close relation to the operation of ASM, and there are still too many uncertain operation strategies under certain IQ condition. Traditional analysis methodology, the system simulation methodology and the exploratory-analysis methodology are very difficult to be used in studying the impacts of IQ to the operational effects directly. Based on the theory of War Design Engineering (WDE), a methodology for analyzing the impact of IQ on the operational effects of ASMs is introduced in this paper, which has referred the mechanism and characteristics of how information quality affects operational effects of ASMs.The main contents in this paper are list as follows:Firstly, according to the basic ideas of how to use WDE theory to overcome the complexity of the complex warfare systems, a 3-dimensional framework for analyzing the impact of IQ on the operational effects of ASMs is introduced in this paper, which includes IQ dimension, operation dimension and operational effect dimension, and then gives a detailed introduction of the concepts and relations of these 3 dimensions and how to execute an analysis process under such framework.Secondly, the paper studies the first sub-step of the 3D framework-IQ-based discussion on the operations of ASMs. After analyzing the quality indexes of key information during operations of ASM, the paper introduces methodology to measure these indexes, and then analyzes the relationship between info-quality and operation. By illustrating how to construct concrete conceptual modeling, we can describe the concepts in ASM's operation as conceptual model for the sake of operational effect analysis in the next step.Thirdly, the paper studies the 2nd sub-step of the analysis process, that is, operation-based effect analysis. Base on the operational effect indexes, the penetration probability model of a single ASM is established. And then the effect and rationality of double-missiles fusillading are analyzed. Considering the big number of ASM in operation and the complex characteristic of time and logical relations, the paper discuss using simulation method to evaluate the operational effects of multi- platforms in the conceptual model foundation.Fourthly, the paper studies the 3rd sub-step of the analysis process-effect-based IQ evaluation and optimization. The paper not only brings forward an effect-based evaluation measure of IQ, but also specifies its optimization factor and direction. That forms the foundation for modifying the perspective and executing the next iterative process.Finally, a demonstration, which takes the different deployments of new information system in ASM operational system as background, is designed to study the impact of IQ on the operational effects of ASM. That eventually validates the feasibility and validity of the methodology in this paper.
