A qualitative maintainability study of the range-only-radar for the Vulcan air defense system
Abstract
The paper contains the results of a qualitative maintainability study on the Vulcan Air Defense Range-Only Radar, the AN/VPS-2, and is oriented toward the organizational level of repair. Included in the report is a discussion of the current operational readiness improvement program of the radar. A description of the system and its history provide the reader with an understanding of why the AN/VPS-2 is experiencing reliability-maintainability problems. Two maintainability areas related to the radar are stressed: (1) hardware design evaluation, and (2) personnel and training. Recommendations, related costs, and impact on operational readiness are given as appropriate.
