The US Air Force Reliability and Maintainability (R and M 2000) program seeks to institutionalize the means for improving the reliability and maintainability of weapons systems. The R and M 2000 program will greatly influence all elements of Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) comprising the logistics elements required to support a weapon system, viz, spare parts, support equipment, technical publications, maintenance training, and training devices. This paper has two objectives: 1) to describe the linkage by which the R and M 2000 program influences requirements for logistics elements when fully implemented; 2) to give visibility to the interactions between design and the various logistics resources. The analytic Supportability Figure of Merit (SFOM) model provides a method for interrelating R and M 2000 goals with ILS elements; it computes several measures of effectiveness (MOEs) in terms of design-related R and M and ILS parameters. These MOEs relate directly to the R and M 2000 program objectives. The SFOM model assesses individual systems designs with regard to R and M 2000 objectives and identifies the best of several competing designs from this standpoint. Lockheed-California Company's experience in applying the model to systems for the Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) program shows that alternative designs can be evaluated in terms of R and M 2000 goals and as a function of R and M and ILS parameters.
