Evaluation of Methods for Calculating System Operating Time in Accordance with Reliability Improvement Warranty (RIW) Contractual Terms.

Abstract

ARINC Research Corporation conducted a six-month study to investigate the validity of contractual techniques for calculating warranty statistics for the AN/ARN-118(V) TACAN. TACAN field data were collected from eleven U.S. Air Force Bases by ARINC Research. Additional TACAN data submitted by the Air Force were used in support of this study. Average Operating Time (AOT), Total Operating Hours (TOH), and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) based on these field data were compared with the values of these parameters calculated by contractual methods. No significant differences between field data estimates and the contractual-methods of calculation were identified. (Author)
