Abstract

Changes are needed to make significant improvements to operational availability and must be considered as early as possible during the design cycle; however,after initial system development, design changes are typically cost-prohibitive. The Department of Defense needs to ensure maintenance and supportability are considered during all phases of the system development cycle, particularly during initial design.
