  • Abstract
    The author advocates the concept that, given the present US Department of Defense acquisition environment, an effective method of evaluating selected military systems is in terms of their system operational availability (A0), rather than the reliability of individual components. A0 is defined, and the parameter that affect it are analyzed. In addition, an example is presented to demonstrate how the use of redundancy in a system design can enable the system to satisfy its performance requirements in a cost-effective manner
