Integrated Communication, Navigation, and Identification Avionics: Impact Analysis. Executive Summary.

Abstract

This paper summarizes the approach and findings of research into reliability, supportability, and survivability prediction techniques for fault-tolerant avionics systems. Since no technique existed to analyze the fault tolerance of reconfigurable systems, a new method was developed and implemented in the Mission Reliability Model (MIREM). The supportability analysis was completed by using the Simulation of Operational Availability/Readiness (SOAR) model. Both the Computation of Vulnerable Area and Repair Time (COVART) model and FASTGEN, a survivability model, proved valuable for the survivability research. Sample results are presented and several recommendations are also given for each of the three areas investigated under this study. Keywords: Communication, Fault-tolerant avionics; Identification, Logistics analysis, Mean time between critical failure, Mean Time between failure, Mean time to repair, Mission completion success probability, Reliability, Supportability, Survivability.
