The problem is that I am trying to obtain a reliability number for an offer to spanish air force. I haven´t found any data about failure rates for the next components: - Electrohidraulic pressure switches. - Flowmeter - Electrovalves - Heat Exchanger (oil). Please any data that can be send will be appreciate. It is only a gross number, more detail number will be calculated when de design progress. Thank you in advance to all
Posted by: Dan Mahoney Date posted: Thu Oct 12 12:37:21 US/Eastern 2000 Subject: Missile Reliability Message: Say an expensive fielded missile system has demonstrated its flight reliability goal after 50 flights, but then 20% of the missile is upgraded with a new subsystem. How many new flights must the system undergo to get back to its demonstrated reliability value? Another 50?, 20% of 50?, something else?!? Can you somehow use 80% of the past experience? What if only 1 tenth of 1 percent of the missile was changed? Would that change the requirement? Any insights or guidance would be appreciated.

A typical failure rate given for the following relay, in the AIF environment at 85 degr C, is 15: Relay, High Speed, armature balanced & short, 5V, DPDT, 1A, - TQ2-5V. (Cyclic rate 3.0, Current ratio 42, resistive load.) Have you perhaps got any feild data available which might suggest a better reliability for this type of relay under the above circumstances? or What is your general experience/opinion in this regard?

The new standard is now SMD technologie. If you calculate the failure rate for the interconnection, for the SMD tech. the failure rate is much lower. Were I have to implemented the number of circuit planes? Is it possible to calculate the failure rate for SMD tech in differend modes? please answer as soon as possible. regards Gerd Jonas
