Reliability, Availability and Maintainability Analysis of the AQUILA remotely Piloted Vehicle System

Abstract

This report presents an analysis of RAM data obtained during tests conducted at Fort Huachuca, AZ, from July 1977 to November 1977 on the AQUILA remotely Piloted Vehicle-System Technology Demonstrator. These data were used to estimate the RAM characteristics of the AQUILA RPV system as exhibited during the tests, to provide a RAM data base on an RPV system, to provide a starting point for reliability growth analysis, and to highlight the major failure modes and special RAM problem areas associated with the AQUILA RPV system.
