The report RADC-TR-85-91 was issued in 1985. I'd like to know if this report was updated or superseded by another publication from RAC or others organism? Thanks

The technical report "Impact of Non-Operating Periods on Equipment Reliability" was produced in 1985 for the U.S. Air Force. This report has not been updated nor is there an alternate publication. The RAC has developed a new reliability assessment tool, PRISM, which has the built-in capability of assessing non-operating component reliability. The models in PRISM are limited so all the components that are covered in the RADC-TR-85-91 may not be included.
