DEVELOPMENT OF WEAPON SYSTEM RELIABILITY GOALS FROM OPERATIONS ANALYSIS

Abstract

The manner in which operations analysis is employed to evaluate the performance of a proposed naval weapon system is discussed. The importance of such studies in the early development stage of a system is emphasized as a means of establishing optimum values of system performance factors. An example is given which illustrates the fact that reliability can be an extremely critical performance factor. The role of operations analysis in developing reliability goals is shown to be the determination of that reliability which corresponds to the maximum military effectiveness for the resources expended.
