Operation of Reliability Analysis Center (FY85-87)
Abstract
This report presents the updating efforts and the description of research and development efforts undertaken in support of DoD agencies in the area of Reliability and Maintainability. Information is provided concerning the operating costs, technical publications developed, user services provided and income derived for the period 1 October 1984 through 30 September 1987. The RAC technically managed by Rome Air Development Center, is a DoD Information Analysis Center with express purpose of serving as a focal point for the recovery of reliability test and experience data on electronic systems and the components used therein. It is one of several DoD Information Analysis Centers, administratively managed by the Defense Logistics Agency, operating in unique, narrowly defined technical areas. Since its inception in 1968, the RAC has been operated by IIT Research Institute under contract to the Air Force first at its Chicago Headquarters and since 1972 at RADC, Griffiss Air Force Base, New York. The RAC mission is to collect, analyze, synthesize, format and disseminate reliability information on electronic equipments/systems and on the microcircuit, discrete semiconductor and electromechanical components that make up the functional hardware. Analyzed and evaluated reliability information is disseminated through reliability compilations, handbooks, appropriate special publications and direct consulting assistance to support defense systems development and to upgrade their reliability. The RAC engineering services are made available, under service charge arrangements, directly to government agencies and contractors.
