Abstract :
The authors present a case study in the successes to be derived from placing emphasis on basic reliability and maintainability (R&M) tasks that are exemplified by the US Army acquisition of the Conduct of Fire Trainer (COFT). Topics covered include the R&M requirements for the simulator, design simplification, the parts control program, reliability demonstration and acceptance tests, and field-use feedback
