This paper takes a broad overview of the reliability and safety engineering practice as it is commonly exercised in the aerospace and military industries today, especially with respect to complex electronic equipment which typically includes considerable software content. A general deficiency is noted with regard to the system-level approach to reliability. It would appear that the system-level reliability activities are given less attention than is needed, while excessive emphasis is placed on component micro- physics, component failure models, and various component-oriented analyses. systems-level reliability topics, which predominate in the equipment reliability which is actually observed, are sometimes ignored by reliability engineers. Methods and practical philosophies to re-establish a solid system engineering foundation for contemporary reliability practice, which have been developed through the authors' experience in the field, are presented. Finally, an example analysis is shown to illustrate the concepts.

RYAN, JCJONS, OPJ. Christopher Ryan:earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in Naval Architecture from Webb Institute and MIT
respectively. He spent three years at the Advanced Marine Technology Division of Litton Industries working on the DD-963 class ship design and related computer aided design projects. he subsequently went to the Navy Department concentrating on early stage design of surface combatants for 12 years including work on the FFG-7 Sea Control Ship CSGN and CVV aircraft carrier projects. He then shifted focus and became the technical director for the Computer Supported Design Program in NavSea for five years. Mr. Ryan has served in several supervisory positions within the Ship Design Group in NavSea since that time. He is currently the project manager for the Ship Design Acquisition and Construction Process Improvement Project. Otto P. Jons:received a Diplom Ing. in shipbuilding from the Technical University of Hannover
W. Germany and an M.S. in naval architecture and marine engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1967. He then joined Litton Ship Systems where he was responsible for the preliminary design of the DD-963 hull structure and then for ship systems as manager LHA Ship Systems Engineering Department. From 1972 to 1974 he was principal research scientist at Hydronautics. In 1976 as technical director he helped establish the local office of Designers and Planners. Otto Jons was one of the co-founders of Advanced Marine Enterprises Inc. in 1976 where he is corporate vice president engineering.

In the spring of 1990, the NavSea Chief Engineer initiated a project to improve the design, acquisition and construction (DAC) of U.S. Navy ships. The project's objectives are to reduce the time and cost of acquiring and operating Navy ships while improving their quality, unlike previous studies on the subject, the project utilizes a rigorous process analysis approach and attempts to use quantitative measures as the basis for recommending improvements. The paper is, of necessity, a status report on the progress of this project. Topics covered include: the DAC process;a look at the current state of ship acquisition time, cost, and quality;the methodology for process improvements;and early findings.

Application of the certainty equivalence principle in the dynamic control problem of an unstable random access (RA) channel results in a nonlinear separation control rule which can be implemented in a decentralized fashion and yields maximum stable throughout e-1. Stability of the controlled RA channel is proven by showing that the channel backlog and its least squares estimate from an ergodic double Markov chain. Tight upper and lower bounds on the invariant probability distribution are also derived when the backlog is precisely known. The bounds are loglinear functions of the channel backlog and can be readily used to compute bounds on the average backlog and delay in the RA channel. An adaptive realization of the control is introduced for an RA channel with unknown traffic rates. Extensive simulation results are provided and the performance of our control is compared with other existing distributed controls.

In recent years reliable methods for designing multivariable feedback controlsystems have been intensively studied. System problems such as sensitivity, minimalization, robustnes to model uncertainties and systems fault tolerance have been the subject of particular investigations aiming to improve MIMO systems reliability. The purpose of this paper is to present some recent results in the area of linear multivariable controlsystems reliability improvement, which have been obtained using robustness theory. The research reported here is less than ten years old and is in continuous progress.

A method of reference model decomposition, an extension of model reference adaptive control, is presented. The decomposition method can be regarded as a way of including knowledge about the structure and parameters of unmodeled dynamics in the adaptive system, making it possible to choose a lower order controller which is only equipped for the nominal process part. To illustrate the decomposition method, an adaptive controller for a scale model of a gantry crane is presented. Simplifying and linearizing the mathematical equations describing the crane yields a fourth-order model, of which the dynamics of the load swing take two. A standard adaptive control algorithm needs eight parameters, which in practice yields unacceptable behavior. The decomposition method allows the use of only two adjustable parameters, and real-time experiments showing practical results obtained with the method are described.< >

Optimal parameter estimation and experiment design requires a weighting between the cost of parameter errors and that of identification itself. Having identified this need, the general principle to obtain both costs for using the model in control design is described. Fast experiment design is achieved by using analytic expressions to calculate the optimal experiment parameters. This is illustrated by a simple example. It is shown that the use of the resulting model criterion in optimal identification is equivalent to cautious stochastic control. A more realistic example is illustrated by simulation.

The siandard H ∞ control problems has now been solved, in which some rank conditions are imposed on the plant data. These conditions are sometimes not satisfied in practical applications, and it is desirable to obtain general solutions to “non-siandard” problems which do not require these conditions. In this paper, we shall derive a parameterization of the H ∞ controller for a non-standard two-block case which include the state feedback control law as a speial case.
