AN/BQQ-1( ) Dependability Program Plan Fiscal Year 1965

Abstract

The BQQ-1( ) Sonar System is used for the detection and tracking of enemy submarines. The system employs both active echo ranging and passive listening techniques, and has considerable operational flexibility, utilizing many different methods for obtaining target information. There are five recognized modes of operation within the concept of this Dependability Plan. These are: (1) Passive Detection, (2) Passive Tracking, (3) Passive Localization, (4) Active Localization, and (5) Active Detection and Tracking. Each of these modes has a specified probability of success associated with a given mission time. Assuming an exponential distribution of times to failure, the mode requirements have been calculated in terms of MTBF. A minimum equipment repair time has also been specified for this equipment and Maintainability prediction and analysis efforts are intended to assure achievement of this repair time.
