Control Data's development and use of durability analysis, which is part of the Avionics/Electronics Integrity Program (AVIP), in the Advanced Tactical Air Reconnaissance System (ATARS) is described. The durability requirements of the ATARS program, the derivation of the durability profile, the methodology for analysis, plans for verification, and durability testing are discussed. The use of the AVIP concept of durability to put into place a practical, cost-effective program which will result in an improved, more durable, and more available tactical air reconnaissance system for the US Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps is described. The AVIP for ATARS has resulted in major design improvements, and has had a significant impact on its expected durability. On the ATARS program, the equipment was designed to known environmental criteria, and durability has been designed in; costly redesign and field repairs are unlikely. The AVIP has lowered the life-cycle cost and has increased mission availability of the ATARS hardware.
