Reliability has been an important factor in past wars and is becoming more prominent as equipment populations increase in size and complexity. Ths paper shows that RAM performance greatly affects life cycle cost and more importantly system effectiveness. It outlines aspects of the design process and casts doubt on the contractor's ability to understand or duplicate field conditions during development with a resultant disparity between achieved and predicted RAM performance. The paper concludes with a summary of information which should serve as design goals for any subsequent information system. The aim of this paper is to show the need for feedback of field RAM data, particularly from the military viewpoint. RAM is the acronym for reliability, availability and maintainability. This subject has been given more prominence by the Canadian Forces (Land) during the last several years.
