Abstract:

This report presents an analysis of RAM data obtained during tests conducted at Fort Huachuca, AZ, from July 1977 to November 1977 on the AQUILA remotely Piloted Vehicle-System Technology Demonstrator. These data were used to estimate the RAM characteristics of the AQUILA RPV system as exhibited during the tests, to provide a RAM data base on an RPV system, to provide a starting point for reliability growth analysis, and to highlight the major failure modes and special RAM problem areas associated with the AQUILA RPV system.
