Air Force System Effectiveness and Reliability Data Systems 670623

Two Air Force programs are currently under development for the collection, reduction, storage, analysis and dissemination of reliability, maintainability and other system effectiveness parameter experience data. The System Experience Correlation and Analysis Program, being developed by the Ballistic System Division, will provide the means for measuring and monitoring weapon system effectiveness, flagging critical problems, reducing data analysis costs, providing information for tradeoff analysis and an experience retention capability that will enable comparison of weapon systems. The Reliability Analysis Central, being developed by Rome Air Development Center, will be a centralized Air Force clearinghouse for part and device reliability information and experience and will serve as a ready source of current cumulative reliability knowledge for the engineering and logistic activities of the Air Force and their contractors.
