This paper describes the effort to measure the field performance of the Advanced Signal Processor (ASP) after delivery to the Navy. It explores the relationship between variables in an operating environment which determine field reliability. The methodology used in data collection and analysis is presented. Field performance is divided into either lab performance based on operation of the signal processor in a laboratory environment, or operational performance based on operation aboard a platform such as a ship or helicopter. Field performance is measured at the unit level by Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) to determine if ASP is meeting its specified goal. Subassembly performance is measured by comparing observed failure rates for individual modules to the failure rates predicted during design. The comparisons identify problem areas for possible corrective action.
