RADC Fault Tolerant System Reliability Evaluation Facility
Abstract
The Systems Reliability and Engineering Division of the Rome Air Development Center (RADC/RBE) is in the process of developing a Fault Tolerant System Reliability Evaluation Facility. The facility has the analysis/evaluation capability necessary to perform reliability modeling for virtually any fault tolerant system. RADC/RBE offers modeling expertise as a support service to DOD agencies with fault tolerant system reliability modeling needs. The facility relies heavily on the use of computer-aided reliability modeling tools. Since no single tool is perfect for every application, RADC/RBE has acquired several. They are CARE III, FASTER, HARP, MIREM, REST, and R&MA2T2. This functional capabilities plan analyzes the capabilities, strengths and weaknesses of each of the above tools. The overall capabilities of the facility are also discussed and sample modeling cases are provided. A survey of tools was also undertaken as part of this study. Short abstracts are provided for 27 modeling tools both new and old. Mathematical models; Fault tolerant system; Air Force research facilities. (edc)
