A method includes processing one or more mission plan inputs to generate a mission definition file (MDF) that includes mission data that describes one or more plans for one or more manned or unmanned vehicles. The method includes evaluating planned tasks against defined scoring criteria specific to each task type and specific to each task to generate individual task achievement quality scores for each of the planned mission tasks. The method includes processing the MDF, the individual task quality scores, and route costs to generate a mission plan to enable evaluation and comparison of one or more mission plans. The method includes generating graphical output data from the output quality scores where the graphical output data can be configured as a mission plan evaluation chart.
