EXTENSION OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT LIFE PREDICTION STUDY.

Abstract

The aim of this program is to prove the feasibil ity of providing field instrumentation capable of measuring the rate of degradation of performance in individual electronic devices. The major effort during the sixth quarter was as follows: (1) update the present statistical class transi tion matrix V by the entry of all test cards on hand; (2) continue the study of possible ways in which to utilize eigenvalue solutions or other numerical processes on the test data to determine the entries in the unit modifier matrix U or its equivalent; (3) introduce new mathematical proc esses on the test data to provide a better defined operability state vector S; and (4) review the test instrumentation from the view point of adding or deleting certain pertinent parameters on the AN/PRC-6 as a result of an error analysis of present data and to change instrumentation to obtain better accuracy on parameters where applicable. In addition to de scribing the activities completed and in process, this report includes the following data: (1) the purpose of the program; (2) breaks the pro gram down into specific tasks; and (3) the plans for the next quarter.
