In aerospace industry, MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) and MFTBF (Mean Flight Time Between Failure) are generally used for reliability analysis. So far, especially to Korean military aircraft, MFTBF of avionic equipments is predicted by MIL-HDBK-217 and MIL-HDBK-338, however, the predicted MFTBF by military standard has a wide discrepancy to that of real-world operation, which leads to overstock and increase operation cost. This study analyzes operational data of avionic equipments. Operational MFTBF, which is calculated from operational data, is compared with predicted MFTBF calculated conventionally by military standard. In addition, failure rate trend is investigated to verify reliability growth in operational data, the investigation shows that failure rate curve from operational data has somewhat pattern with decreased failure rate and constant failure rate.

The paper presents the analysis of Accelerated Reliability Growth (ARG) process data during design and development on non repairable systems. A projection model has been developed which will compress testing time and also accelerate failure mechanisms in which all corrective actions are delayed until at the end of the test. In addition, time to failure in stress test do not have to be converted to time to failure in normal condition. By applying this model, it targets to save cost through speedier testing time and reducing number of prototypes needed. As a result, the total life cycle cost of product will be reduced.

신뢰성성장시험은 주어진 기간 동안에 고장모드를 체계적이고 영구적으로 제거하여 신뢰성을 향상시키려는 것이 목적이다. 이러한 활동은 대부분 매우 제약된 시간에 이루어져야 함으로 신제품개발프로그램에 있어서는 가족수명 시험이 필수적인 신뢰성성장시험 도구로 적용된다. 본 연구에서는 가속수명시험 하에서 신뢰성성장을 계획하고 분석하는데 유용한 도구로 사용할 수 있는 가속 신뢰성성장모델을 제시하였다. 시험전략은 test-find-test 전략으로서 시험 중 고장모드가

This paper introduces reliability stress screening(RSS) for electronic hardware and components. This study also shows reliability centered maintenance(RCM), and reliability growth models. Moreover, this paper presents goodness-of-fit tests and estimation methods of power law model.
