Reliability Effects on Multi-Mission RPV Maintenance.

Abstract

A computer simulation model of Multi-Mission RPV maintenance, recently developed for the RPV System Program Office at Wright-Patterson AFB, was expanded and refined, and used to investigate the relative effects of reliability on the MMRPV maintenance function. Avionics reliability was varied by the application of 'stress factors' to engineering estimates of failure rates. Total system reliability, or the probability of an RPV surviving launch, flight, and recovery, was considered over a range from 0.96 to 0.80.
