항공기 개발단계에서의 RAM(Reliability, Availability, Maintainability) 예측은 진행중인 설계개념이 RAM 개발 목표값을 달성할 수 있는지를 판단하여 이를 설계에 반영하기 위한 것이다. 본 연구에서 신뢰도 예측 모델은 항공기의 임무에 초점을 둔 임무신뢰도와 시스템신뢰도를 산출하고, 정비도 예측 모델은 군수지원분석자료(LSAR)와의 호환성을 유지할 수 있도록 하였으며, 가용도 예측 모델은 신뢰도와 정비도 자료를 활용한 운용가용도를 예측하는 데에 기준을 두었다. 본 연구는 기존의 RAM 예측이 각각 독립적으로 수행된 점을 보완하여 서로간의 상호관계를 반영한 통합 예측 모델을 개발하는 데에 초점을 두었으며, 실제적인 운용개념을 반영한 모델링으로서 항공기 개발단계에서 뿐만 아니라 실제 운용단계에서의 RAM 분석에 효과적이라 판단된다.

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to compare the RAM (reliability, availability and maintainability) value in the acquisition phase with operational period for air weapon systems. The objective is to determine if the value of RAM is sufficient in the field, and look for any difference from the target value to some extent. Methods : For a case study, the ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ training aircraft is selected. Data from the two acquisition sources are utilized. One is the operational data in domestic aircraft through research and development, and the other is the data from imported aircraft. The two different sources were collected independently and distinctly. Results : According to the analysis, the domestic aircraft shows high deviation in RAM value compare to the imported systems. This is due to the effort of continuous reliability improvement. In the aspect of maintainability, the result shows a slight deviation, and the availability meets the requirement. Conclusion : The results of this study can be used in finding a way that can be effectively applied to the sustainability in the weapon system. If the RAM performance is significantly lower than the target value, then it is necessary to improve the design activities so that they can achieve the RAM target value.

This study proposes an OMS/MP preparation methodology using a simulation method instead of a survey method. We applied our methodology to the next generation detection radar, providing reasonable peace- and war-time OMS/MP values. Based on these results, we propose the process to calculate RAM objective values. The previous survey method required to supplement its method since the method used data from a similar weapon system. In addition, the previous method didn't provide enough reliability for the future weapon system. Instead of using the previous survey method, we propose to use war game simulation, which provides a better OMS/MP values. Based on these results, we propose the logical consecutive process that prepares combat and simulation scenarios, peace- and war-time OMS/MP values and RAM objective values.

In this study, an improved method of setting the RAM goals for surveillance system using OMS/MP and field operations data of similar systems is suggested and a case study of surveillance system A is given. Newly suggested methods for setting the RAM goals consist of the procedures such as On/Off time analysis of configuration equipment based on OMS/MP, field operations data analysis of similar systems, adjustment of preventive maintenance time, the number of corrective maintenances, and TALDT in wartime, introducing new subsystem to reliability structure of surveillance system, and reflecting expert's opinion. A case study of surveillance system A shows that newly suggested method in this study for setting the RAM goals is reasonably acceptable and practically applicable to other similar systems.

When designing a multifunctional system consisting of many components performing many functions or missions, it is important to determine the reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) of the system and components, and we consider system availability to be the optimization criterion. For given intervals of mean time between failure (MTBF) and mean time to repair (MTTR) of the components, we want to determine the values of MTBF and MTTR for all components that satisfy the target availability. A heuristic method is proposed for finding near-optimal solutions through simulation. We also study numerical examples to check effects of model parameters on the optimal solutions.

RAM(Reliability, Availability, Maintainability) is important performance factor to keep combat readiness and optimize operational and maintenance cost of weapon systems. This paper discusses the method to establish RAM for combat readiness by using field failure data from similarity equipments. Operational availability is estimated from a binomial distribution function of user's operational conditions such as combat readiness preservation probability, operational rate, operational availability and total number of equipment. Reliability and maintainability is estimated from field failure data from similarity equipment to accomplish operational availability. The effectiveness of established RAM is verified through analysis of combat readiness preservation probability and mission reliability. A case study of weapon system illustrates the process of the proposed method.

본 연구에서는 철도시스템의 RAM 체계구축과 관련하여 R. A. M 중 하나의 필수 요소이며, 실제 운행하고 있는 철도시스템이 얼마나 잘 운행되고 있는지를 나타내는 지표인 철도시스템 가용도(Availability)에 대하여 해외규격, 국내외 발주사양 등을 통해, 가용도 계산방법 등을 비교분석해 보았다. 그 결과, 백분율 % 값으로 계수화된 가용도 목표가 요구된 발주사양의 경우에도 수요처에 따라 가용도 목표의 계산방법이 다르며, 각각의 시스템에 맞춰 수정된 방법을 요구하고 있다. 우리나라도 우리나라 철도환경 및 시스템에 맞는 가용도 계산이 필요하며, 이에 따라 우리나라 철도시스템에 맞는 가용도 연구를 위해 본 연구에서는 해외규격, 국내외 발주사양 분석 결과들과 관련 문헌들을 바탕으로 철도시스템 가용도 계산 방법(안)을 만들어 국내 철도시스템에 제안해 보았다.

This work describes a basic process of OMS/MP in guided weapons on board ship. The OMS/MP which provided basic data of ROC & RAM analysis must be prepared by user But data acquisition Quantified by specific operational environment of ship and related preparing instructions which are not established are now insufficient of reliable weapon systems acquisition. The OMS/MP is an important area that become measures of Acceptance Test and doctrine considering future battlespace environment From a development of the OMS/MP template that describe systematically and as quantitative of shipped guided weapons, combat developer oriented product development & reliable weapon system acquisition are ta be accomplished. This research developed OMS/MP preparation templete that presented quantified OMS/MP derivation and RAM target value calculation process which provide optimum weapon systems design concept to research developers

In this research, items and contents of SONAR were derived from investigation of OMS/MP of previously-operated submarines and domestic and international references related to weapon system. Such items and contents were established in detail and were categorized into four separate groups after consulting system design experts and specialists in the field of SONAR's operation. Ultimately, based on wartime and peacetime scenario and operation concept of SONAR, RAM values were obtained through various methods using submarine-operating records and maintenance records for the past eleven years.

Setting RAM target value for a defense system plays a crucial role in the development and design phases and the production phase as well. It is apparent that the achieved RAM target value can help maximizing the combat capability of a defense system and improving its performance throughout the system's life cycle from acquisition phase to disposal. Usually a defense system operates according to its OMS/MP (Operational Mode Summary / Mission Profile) and it consists of several subsystems which are supposed to be operated at each utilization rate under its operating conditions and the mission profiles assigned. In this study, a method of setting RAM target value is proposed for a defense system that are composed of several independent subsystems considering their utilization rates and the mission profiles assigned. And the case study of applying the proposed method of setting RAM target value to system A is dealt with.
