Evaluation of F-15 Operations and Maintenance Costs Based on Analysis of Category II Test Program Maintenance Data.
Abstract
The report contains an analysis of the maintenance data collected as part of the F-15 Category II test program from April 1974 through February 1975 with the intent of updating operations and maintenance cost predictions. A brief review of the Systems Effectiveness Data System is included to provide background on the source of the raw maintenance data. This is followed by an analysis of maintenance man-hours per flight hour (MMH/FM) trends based on regression analysis to determine the expected operational maintenance requirements. Failure data are analyzed to determine system and subsystems reliability. Two reliability models are used for this analysis: an exponential model which assumes a constant instantaneous failure rate, and a Weibull model which can represent either an increasing or a decreasing failure rate.
