Normal Life Cycle Costs of Large Radar Systems
What are the normal life cycle costs of large radar systems?
Reliability, maintainability, quality, supportability, and interoperability (RMQSI) is comprised of how well each weapons system is designed, manufactured, and maintained over time.
What are the normal life cycle costs of large radar systems?
What is the most current, ready-to-deploy technology available to run autonomous logistical convoys given the conditions and geography of the Central Command Area of Responsibility? What are the benefits and risks of utilizing these systems?
What forms of additive manufacturing have been qualified for military use?
Reliability is the probability that an item will perform its intended function for a specified period under stated conditions. It has a significant impact on operating and sustainment costs within the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), which typically represent 70% of the program’s total life-cycle costs [1].
In 2022, the U.S. Navy installed the first-ever permanent metal AM machine aboard a U.S. naval vessel. This technology is projected to be groundbreaking by reducing resupply logistics and diminishing obsolescence: “For the Navy, the greatest immediate potential is in the less-exotic field of logistics” [1].
