Abstract :
Current weapon systems use a false alarm percentage evaluate diagnostic performance. This metric becomes skewed when aircraft reliability improves disproportionate to a reduction in the number of false alarms. A new metric is needed that focuses on the performance of the diagnostics independent of reliability. Flight hours per false alarm is such a metric
