An Example of Phased Mission Reliability Analysis for a Hypothetical Naval Weapons System.

摘要

In a phased mission, the functional organization of the system changes during consecutive time periods, which introduces analysis complexities not present with just a single phase. This occurs since the performance of a particular component in one phase of the mission is not independent of its performance in another phase. In this paper, an example is analyzed, largely with graphical techniques and diagrams, so as to avoid the complicated mathematics which characterize much of the existing methodology. (Author)
