Reliability/Cost Analysis of SINCGARS-V Radio Series

Abstract

The SINCGARS-V radio series consists of a VHF-FM radio system, electronically tuned and controlled, which operates in the 30 to 88 MHz frequency band. Three basic subsystems are analyzed on the basis of the specified reliability (design goal) and the cost incurred in order to obtain that reliability level. The analysis contained herein elaborates the reliability program costs, expected field support costs, and the resultant MTBF achieved in the field. Also included is an analysis of projected reliability growth efforts, including curves, during the advanced development, and engineering development phases of the equipment's life cycle; it includes a calculation of the expected reliability growth costs for each of the three subsystems, at several reliability growth rates.
