Reliability/Maintainability Study for Tactical Ground Electronic Shelters

Abstract

IIT Research Institute/Reliability Analysis Center conducted an 8-month study to assess the reliability/maintainability of tactical ground electronic shelters. Data describing the condition of 367 foam and beam shelters and 85 honeycomb shelters were collected by field examination. It was not possible to estimate the reliability of either population of shelters due to the lack of field and depot records required to determine the number and nature of failures. The lack of adequate field maintenance was found to be resulting in expensive depot repair. The data revealed that two percent of the foam and beam shelters and 17.6 percent of the honeycomb shelters were unserviceable and require depot rehabilitation. The report contains frequency of occurrence summaries for the major degradation/damage events observed. (Author)
