IMPACT OF EQUIPMENT LIFE CHARACTERISTICS ON MISSILE TEST PLANNING,

Abstract

This memorandum examines the impact of prelaunch operations on the probability of successful R and D missile or space system launch and mission completion. To do this, the nature of equipment life characteristics is examined and data presented; secondly, methods aimed toward finding the amount of ground operation that minimizes the effect of life variations are discussed; from this follow the test planning and cost implications. Finally, conclusions are drawn and a test program proposed. (Author)
