Fundamentals (Module 3)
Mission Frequency and Duration - The bomber and the accompanying avionics suite will likely be
in the air three to four times each week
Affordability - All available funds have been depleted after one year of deployment because the
logistics costs were minimized
Anti-Tamper - The highly sensitive information in the software for the avionics suite was accessed
by an unauthorized person
Anticipated Service Life - The avionics suite should be functional for at least 4,500 service hours
Choose the correct definition of the logistics measure of weight: - Total tonnage of deployable
consumables, support equipment, energy (fuel, oil, etc.), and spares
Choose the correct purpose of Design Interface: - Ensures that logistics support considerations are
part of the design process and that the system design is fully supported by the Integrated Product
Support elements
Cost - The added repair components are in excess of the budget line item allocated for system
sustainment
Deployment - The avionics suite will be deployed to a theater that has high temperature
variations in a single day
Design for Support - -Establish supportability objectives
-Perform Functional Analysis
-Identify capability
, Design the Support - -Determine levels of repair
-Perform Maintenance Task Analysis
-Identify likely modes of failure
Disposal - At the end of the life cycle, the software fell into the hands of an adversary
Engineering and Manufacturing Development - -Draft Product Support Plan
-Produce prototypes
-Assess ability to meet Key Performance Parameters
Enhance Interoperability - These fasteners have been easier for the repair personnel to replace
because fewer changes of tools are required.
Human Capability and Limitations - Personnel using the bomber will not likely be in a hazardous or
radioactive environment
Human Factors Engineering - The repair personnel have not been trained on how to repair the
avionics system
Affordability - All available funds have been depleted after one year of deployment because the
logistics costs were minimized
Maintainability - -Replacing plastic will require higher grade repair personnel
-Design includes coupling that is easy to access during repairs
-Personnel have experience replacing new exterior panel
Maintainability - The avionics suite is placed in such a way that it is difficult to access
Materiel Solution Analysis - -Specify measurable support performance requirements
-Provide procedures to develop supportability assessments
