Abstract

Environment Conversion Factors, which are stipulated in System Reliability Toolkit, have a lot of advantages once applied in a reliability data handbook such as NPRD-95, during the process of reliability prediction. However, the factors have a restriction in their applications because they don't deal with a few environments, e.g., Missile Launch (ML). In this study, environment factors of various components from MIL-HDBK-217F were analyzed to address this problem. Statistical computations showed that converting from Airborne Rotary Wing (ARW) to Missile Launch (ML) was the most coherent by comparing coefficient of determination. In addition, conversion factors from System Reliability Toolkit and those from the statistical calculations were evaluated in terms of their similarities.
