An Analytical Methodology for Determining Cruise Missile Dormant Reliability

Abstract

The purpose of this briefing is to present an analytical methodology for determining cruise missile dormant reliability (CMDR). The reason for suggesting such a methodology is that there is currently no other means of arriving at a confident estimate of CMDR without resorting to large scale, long term testing. Such testing is planned and is being implemented for the Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM). But the answer to the question, What is the dormant failure rate of the ALCM fleet: will not be available for over 2 years.
