Reliability growth management of SATCOM terminals
Abstract
This paper provides reliability growth, cost, and failure information gained from the development of a family of super high frequency transportable satellite communication terminals. The Duane and Weibull reliability growth models were used to constructively make reliability management decisions. Differences are noted between the Duane and Weibull models in their use for estimating growth rates, predicting future reliability, and fitting the test data.
