Abstract
The large, complex, high technology systems and components, such as those used in aircraft, require much more than high performance and versatility. They must be reliable and maintainable in order to render their operation both safe and cost-effective and they must be supported by an efficient, responsive maintenance program. The attainment of reliable and maintainable systems requires the application of sound engineering effort, starting early in the research and development process to design-in high reliability and ease of maintenance features and continuing after deployment, during field operation, to implement well planned maintenance support tasks. Only through a total life-cycle program that incorporates proven reliability and maintainability (R&M) engineering practice and well planned, properly executed maintenance procedures can safe, reliable and affordable hardware systems be achieved and maintained.
