R/M/T (Reliability/Maintainability/Testability) Design for Fault Tolerance. Volume 1. Program Manager's Guide

摘要

Fault tolerance has come into almost universal use in modern day systems of all types. This report contains design guidance and general information for Air Force and contractor program managers with respect to the nature and form of Reliability/Maintainability/Testability (R/M/T) tasks needed to in the development of fault tolerant systems. This program managers guide contains instructions for tailoring the R/M/T programmatic standards (MIL-STD-785,-470 &-2165) for fault tolerant systems development. Important fault tolerance design options and tradeoff analysis methods are discussed to aid the program manager in understanding and overseeing the entire fault tolerant system design process. This report is Volume I of II. Volume II will be an R/M/T Fault Tolerant Design Implementation Guide available at a later date. Keywords: Command control communications and intelligence systems. (EDC)
