Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM)

Overview:

Introduction:

Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) are system design attributes that have significant impacts on the sustainment or total Life Cycle Costs (LCC) of a developed system. Additionally, the RAM attributes impact the ability to perform the intended mission and affect overall mission success.
