Fault Tree Analysis of Bradley Linebacker.

Abstract

This report presents a version of the degraded states (DS) methodology, concentrating on the logic used within fault trees. This methodology was the basis for the system analysis conducted on the Bradley Linebacker. This methodology and analysis were documented within the System Analysis Report (SAR) of J. F. Meyers, B. G. Ruth, and R. W. Kunkel entitled, "Survivability/Lethality Analysis Report for the Bradley Linebacker," from the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD in October 1996, in support of the U.S. Army Operational Evaluation Command (OEC) in the preparation of the System Evaluation Report (SER). The Bradley Linebacker is an enhancement to the Bradley Fighting Vehicle (M2A2) with the ability to select targets, automatically track targets, and launch Stinger missiles. This is the first integrated system performed on any system where synergy of different battlefield threats was considered.
