MISSILE SYSTEM SAFETY: AN EVALUATION OF SYSTEM TEST DATA (ATLAS MA-3 ENGINE SYSTEM)

Abstract

A significant amount of human factors data that pertained to missile system safety was accumulated during the course of various operational system test exercises. These data were in the form of incidents (deviations/ difficulties), which were gathered during the direct observation of various job operations. Much of the basic data and the results of preliminary analyses have been reported previously in some 36 monthly periodic and logical function reports. The purpose of this report is to provide additional pertinent information; it was obtained as a result of further updating and detailed analyses of the data, and oriented toward the following five objectives: (1) over-all analysis and evaluation of basic data; (2) prevent recurrence of problems; (3) information for planning a system safety engineering program; (4) basic reference and training material; and (5) descriptive and explanatory information.
