In this study, we propose the operational availability computation model that can be used on the weapon system's requirement planning phase. The proposed model consists of the time parameters of Ao(Operational Availability) for a system and each time parameter's estimation method. The time parameters for Ao computation are TT(Total Time) and TDT(Total Down Time). The time parameters are defined by considering OMS/MP(Operational Mode Summary/Mission Profile) elements. TT is a calendar time as a specific mission time at wartime or one year at peacetime. TDT consists of TPM(Total Preventive Maintenance time), TCM (Total Corrective maintenance time), TALDT(Total Administrative and Logistics Down Time). Then the estimation method for these time parameters are presented by the weapon systems types.

It is important to increase the probability that all developed weapon systems can be operated in a steady state at any time. In the case of Integrated Logistics Support, this probability is referred to as operational availability, and the numerical value is quantified during the development process. There are several ways to improve operational availability for successful development of weapon systems. One of the methods is to reduce total corrective maintenance time through Automatic Test Equipment(ATE). Recently, customers in the defense market have become aware of this and demand ways to improve operational availability of weapon systems. Therefore, this paper proposes ways to improve operational availability of weapon systems by changing the method of operating the ATE. The detailed method is to allow field maintenance personnel to carry out field maintenance support onsite. This is an effective way to reduce the total corrective maintenance time of weapon systems by reducing the travel time of field maintenance personnel. The proposed ATE is proved to be able to achieve superior maintenance and operational availability.

This paper studies the problem seeking an efficient operational scheduling for battle ships in the Republic of Korea's navy. The ships' availability means that their main systems such as weapons, navigation and propulsion are in full operational readiness. If some of the major systems are not ready, then the ships should not be available for operations. It is required to maintain a high level availability under the limited resources as it determines the strength of ROK's navy. However, it will result in inefficiencies if some ships are operated without proper maintenance only to improve their availability. Thus, this study suggests the operational scheduling for two squadron ships that considers multiple objectives such as availability, overlapping maintenance, and deviation from available ships in a particular week. We applied NSGA-II algorithm to find better solutions for more efficient scheduling. The experiment result reached an efficient solutions after 1,500 generations. Two efficient operational schedules were compared on the basis of three multiple objectives among them.

Navy forces of ROK asked for more than 90% operational availability in the requirement document of combat ship. This study proposes the evaluation methodology of operational availability with the evaluation process, calculation formula, analysis of operational test data. As the case study, the developed methodology is proved to apply for 00 batch-I naval ship using the data to be acquired during the operational test period. The operational availability by test data was 90.03%, and it was satisfied with objective value 90%. The paper will contribute not only to establish the evaluation methodology of operational availability for combat ship but also other general weapon system.

This study introduces the system dynamics model that simulate total operational availability when 10 equipments made of 3 major components are serviced under the constrains of the maintenance capacity level and the number of spare parts. This simulation is designed on the base of reliability engineering concept so failures of components happens with the rule of engineering factors like the mean time between failure(MTBF) of component and the next failure time of one component is effected by the conditions of other components. We analysed availability of 10 equipments under 121 constrains and executed multiple regression analysis with the simulation result. The analysis provide the managerial insight in the service fields with operation many equipments.

Failure of essential avionic equipments have a significant impact on the operations and safety of P-3 maritime patrol aircraft. Therefore, avionic equipments of P-3 are required to have higher reliability. Based on the field failure data, this paper studies the reliability growth of essential avionic equipments in P-3 using Duane model. Additionally, a simulation model is built and implemented for identifying the operational availability according to the field failure data of avionic equipments.

RAM of elements to support weapon systems is conducted at the initial development phase and standard is suggested to accomplish strategy requirement performance from a design spec. Operational availability is a key point of the military's ability to ensure combat readiness and to win the battle. In the weapon system development phase, operational availability is used as a development standard. The military provides ALDT, operation and standby time, which are elements of operational availability. ALDT is a key element of operational availability that must be maintained for combat readiness, as it depends on the aging of a weapon system, maintenance policies and geographical conditions. Operational Availability to be set at the development phase has many differences from the operational availability that is analyzed in the actual operational phase because ALDT is applied as a simple assumption. In the paper, we analyzed ALDT applying the decision tree method through failure data acquired from initial operation. Through this study, we have devised the optimal ALDT setting method to achieve operational availability about operation when the weapons system is unstable.

To estimate the availability of the MCE for KOMPSAT I, mathematical models of H/W and S/W availability, the availability estimating methods for parallel and redundant system were presented. Furthermore, to improve and estimate the MCE system availability, we analyzed the computational procedure of redundant methods, and we also included effective switch choosing methods in this paper. The analytical results of the MCE system availability were estimated as follows: - 0.995216 not considering system redundancy, - 0.9955165 considering system redundancy, and -0.9963991 for the time of system real time operation.

태양광전원이 수용가 연계하여 발전하는 경우 전원측에서 계측된 역률이 저하되는 현상이 발생 할 수 있다. 특히 전력산업구조 개편에 따라 전력공급자와 소비자 모두 전력품질과 계통의 안정성에 관심이 증대되어 계통의 역률은 중요한 부분이 되고 있다. 또한, 태양광전원 운용자들은 한전에서 제시하는 연계지점 역률 0.9이상을 만족시키도록 운용해야 하며, 연계지점의 역률의 변화에 따라 운용자의 이익에 영향을 미치므로 역률유지하기 위해 노력이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 태양광전원이 연계되는 경우 역률이 저하되는 현상을 PSCAD/EMTDC로 이용하여 문제점을 분석하고, 태양광전원 수용가용 SVC를 개발하였다. 태양광전원용 실증시험 장치에 모의계통을 구성하여 개발한 SVC의 유효성을 입증하기 위해 특성시험을 수행하였다.
