Suitable term for a group of missions

English Language & Usage Asked on August 5, 2021

I’m designing a computer application for a client, and I’m looking for a good term to describe a group of missions.

I have, at the moment, a single mission containing a series of well-defined steps, but I need to be able to package up multiple missions for delivery to an entity responsible for allocating each mission to other entities, for execution in parallel.

I’ve had a look at the dictionaries suggested here but, while they provide the plural form missions, that’s not really what I’m after.

I have come up with "mission set" but I was rather hoping for something a little more compact (i.e., a single word). Usage would be along the lines of:

The workload manager is responsible for packaging up related missions into a single mission set and sending that through to the mission controller. That controller will then distribute each mission to a mission executor for parallel execution.

The mission set is the bit I’m trying to get a better term for.

Any ideas?
