The development of weapon systems that look only be introduced as a huge budget directly related to combat rea diness. If we develop the expensive equipment it will not be the same state or have to wait a lot of time in mainten ance facilities for maintenance, which will have a profound impact on the exercise Efficiency. In order to solve this problem, the operation and use state of the weapon system requires effort to successfully p erform the duties held by the defined and assigned, Further analysis should be conducted RAM in order to reduce m aintenance manpower and logistic support costs. The role of business is to increase the RAM system reliability by L ee to Fig system failure rate from the development and maintenance, and reduced life cycle costs. Therefore, the present study was to determine the RAM to perform analysis procedures and methods and limita tions of each element, such as to maximize the effectiveness of comprehensive logistics support and help to study to become an effective logistics support.

A variety of approaches on performance evaluation modeling have appeared in the technical literature for flexible manufacturing systems(FMS) which can be evaluated only through computer simulation. This study represents a comparative approach for FMS performance evaluation modeling based on reliability, availability and maintainability, and life cycle cost. The methodology proposed in this research includes the following three-step generative approaches. First, a static model to find the initial system configuration is considered under the assumption that the system availability is given as one (failure and maintenance are not considered), and in second step, a stochastic simulation is proposed to serve as a performance evaluation model for FMS with stochastic failure and repair time. In the last step, we developed a simulation modeling using a simulator, FACTOR/AIM to consider a variety of performance factors and dynamic behavior of FMS. Also the applicability and validity of the proposed approaches has been tested and compared through the results of a sample problem using computer programs and procedures developed in each step.

The durability and reliability of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) play an important role in the service reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM) of hot­section components in advanced turbine engines for aero and utility applications. Photostimulated luminescence spectroscopy (PSLS) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) are being concurrently developed as complimentary non­destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques for quality control and life­remain assessment of TBCs. This paper overviews the governing principles and applications of the luminescence and the impedance examined in the light of residual stress, phase constituents and resistance (or capacitance) in TBC constituents including the thermally grown oxide (TGO) scale. Results from NDE by PSLS and EIS are discussed and related to the microstructural development during high temperature thermal cycling, examined by using a variety of microscopic techniques including focused ion beam (FIB) in­situ lift­out (INLO), transmission and scanning transmission electron microscopy (TEM and STEM).

RAM analysis using field data is important and useful for acquisition and operation of weapon systems. But this kind of analysis didn't conducted due to the absence of weapon system's failure data in case of warship. This study suggest failure tracking process based on maintenance and repair parts consumption data and proves suggested method enables conducting RAM analysis. This method obtains validity through field operator's reviews. The results on 9 warships in this study significantly correspond with weapon system operator's experiences. Because the result of this study contains effects of various operational environments in field, it will useful for correction and verification on existing another weapon system's RAM estimates. If this kind of RAM data are sufficiently accumulated, it will be used to DB of korean unique RAM analysis.

Modern weapon systems are multifunctional, with capabilities for executing complex missions. However, they are required to be highly reliable, which increases their total cost of ownership. Because it is necessary to produce the best results within a limited budget, there is an increasing interest in development, acquisition, and maintenance costs. Consequently, there is a need for tools that calculate the lifecycle costs of weapons systems development to facilitate decision making. In this study, we propose a cost calculation function based on the Markov process simulator-a reliability, availability, and maintainability analysis tool developed by applying the Markov-Monte Carlo method-as an alternative to these requirements to facilitate decision-making in systems development.

M&S techniques are utilized for various purposes on the national defense, and its importance is increasing than ever. For analyzing RAM (Reliability, Availability and Maintainability) of weapon system, using M&S techniques can be more effective and practical way than deterministic approach, because M&S approach can consider uncertain variables and various constraints in the ILS (Integrated Logistics support) field. For design of ILS M&S, we first set up a purpose of M&S, attributes of real system and other similar ILS M&S tool. Then, we convert real system into model which consists of mathematical formula and logical expression. In this thesis, we introduce modeling procedures of M&S that describes total life cycle of 'OO guided weapon system' and the contents proposed in this paper can provide references for developing other M&S tool.

LINS (Laser Inertial Navigation System) consists of RLG (Ring Laser Gyroscopes)/accelerometers and provides real-time navigation information to the target system. Therefore it is very important to make a decision in the real time whether LINS is in the normal operation or not. That is called a fault detection method. In this paper, we propose the fault detection method of LINS based on the overlapping model. We also show that the fault detection probability is increased through overlapping the hardware model and the software model. It is verified through the long-term operation and RAM (Reliability Availability Maintainability) analysis of LINS that the fault detection method proposed in this paper is able to detect about 97% of probable system failures.

초기단계의 제품 검사방법은 단순히 제품이 제대로의 기능을 수행하는지 안하는지에 대해서만 검사하고 결정을 내릴 뿐이었다. 대부분의 검사란, 검사자에게 최종적으로 제품이 인수된 후에 제품의 상태여부를 한정적이고, 제한적으로만 판단하여 검사결과를 제공하여왔다. 현대의 제품특성이 구조적 복잡성의 증가, 제품불량 현상파악의 난이도 증가등으로 제품의 사용절차, 검사, 유지보수, 부품교환등이 점점 더 난해해지고, 검사자의 개인적인 숙련도도 증가하게 되어, 제품을 유지보수하는데 더 많은 비용과 시간을 필요로하게 되었다. 이러한 문제들의 해결방안의 하나로 제품의 자체에 스스로 검사할 수 있는 체계적인 시스템을 설치하게 되어 BIT(Built-In-Test)가 탄생하게 되었다. BIT는 현존하는 제품뿐만아니라, 생산될 제품의 설계단계에서도 많이 응용되어 제품의 RAM(Reliability, Availability, Maintainability)에 많은 기여를 해왔다. 이 PAPER는 지금까지 BIT가 주로 Military System에 적용되어온 것을 Commercial system으로의 변환을 위한 기초작업을 제시하고 여러 대안을 열거하였으며, BIT가 갖고 있는 문제점들을 파악하여, 향후 고도화 되가는 산업사회의 요구에 부응할 수 있는 토대를 마련코자 Survey하였다.

This paper is application of System Assurance(SA) for the rolling stock. As railway systems become more complex, design teams are increasingly under pressure to deliver, design solutions, which integrate both technical and Systems Assurance(SA). Systems Assurance is the application of management methods and analysis techniques to ensure that a design meets Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS) criteria. It should be clearly understood that the intent of System Assurance is not just to provide analytical techniques as a metric on performance, but more importantly it should provide a management tool with which to co-ordinate and assure the whole design. System Assurance encompasses the ongoing requirement to consider safety, and RAM through each stage of a Project, from feasibility study through to commissioning and operation. If System Assurance is undertaken properly at feasibility study at the design stages of a Project, the benefits of such analyses can be significant in identifying potential problems early enough for action to be taken before manufacture or installation. At commissioning, RAMS demonstration activities are undertaken to validate the predictive and analytical techniques undertaken during the design.
