ANALYSIS OF RADA SYSTEM VOLUME I. RELIABILITY/EFFECTIVENESS AND EQUIPMENT SIZE AND WEIGHT.

Abstract

An analysis was performed of system operational effectiveness and weight and size requirements for the ultimate Random Access Discrete Address (RADA) communication system. In performance of this analysis, an equipment reliability prediction program, RAP, was developed and implemented on the GE 235 Time-Sharing System, and a general-purpose system effectiveness program, SEE/AN-II, was employed. The principal results of this study indicate that the system will meet its performance requirements of completing a call on the first try and having tactical availability despite the high rate at which maintenance activity is required. Since the ultimate Basic Subscriber Unit (BSU) and Retransmission Unit (RTU) re both heavier than specification requirements, they will need some change of design and materials to bring them within requirements.
