Abstract :
This paper describes a computer simulation program developed to aid in estimating the over-all system reliability and down time of the 600-foot radio telescope that was being designed for the U. S. Navy. The simulation program was designed to provide early estimates of the system reliability and down time and also to provide for periodically updating and refining the estimates as improved input data became available.
