Safety and Service Difficulty Reporting
Abstract
Today, safety is considered to be of highest importance in most societies. In the context of the military, safety is essential to averting loss of life and damage to a high- value asset. While safety may take second place to winning a war, its importance is further accentuated because of its connotation to battlefield readiness. As new technology is inducted. aircraft systems will inevitably become more complex. New technology generally means better performance and lower costs but there might be safety-related challenges as well, Also, increased usage and operating missions beyond what was envisaged in the design stage will magnify the accident rate as well as the fatalities, injuries, or losses of high-value assets. Safety systems will need to he more sophisticated and better methods of analysis will need to be employed. Authorities, and in the case of the military - themselves, will need to focus more on preventing accidents due to service related events rather than using service data to confirm the analysis of accidents that have already happened.
