Remotely Piloted Vehicle: Application of the GRASP Analysis Method.

Abstract

This is a consolidation of the preliminary work done in the application of a General Reliability Analysis Simulation Program (GRASP) for the Lockheed Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) system, being developed for the United States Army. The model simulates the field operation of the RPV system. By using individual component reliabilities, the overall reliability of the RPV system is determined. The results of the simulations are given in operational days. The model represented is only a basis from which more detailed work could progress. The RPV system in this model is based on preliminary specifications and estimated values. The scope of this report demonstrates the use of GRASP from basic system definition, to model input, and to model verification. (Author)
