Impact of Fiber Optics on System Reliability and Maintainability

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA201946 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report documents the effort to develop recommendations and guidelines for system designers and planners to assure reliable, maintainable and supportable use of Fiber Optics FO in military systems. This document provides a compendium for agencies within DOD with a tool to address RM in the design of FO systems. This document will alert designersplanners with respect to lesson learned and design dosdonts in order to make educated choices in their design process. Keywords Reliability, Maintainability, Fiber Optic, Failure-mechanismsmodes, Components, Testing, and QAscreening.
