Primary Hornet program requirements include improved Operational Readiness (OR) and reduced Life Cycle Cost (LCC) compared to previous tactical aircraft. These requirements were translated into definitive and challenging reliability (R) and maintainability (M) design requirements. This paper describes the design and management techniques used to design superior R and M characteristics into the CF-18. A key to the Hornet's improved Operational Readiness is the firm R and M guarantees which will be demonstrated during the development program. Another important program management feature is the substantial R.M. LCC , and program management incentives which the contractor can earn. Principal CF-18 features designed to provide improved reliablity include avionics equipment derating, improved cooling of the avionics, and reduced parts in the major subsystems such as radar, engine, and crew station. The Hornet's F404 engine also is designed for simplicity and reliability, being about four times as reliable as the J79.
