Dependability (Availability & Reliability)
Higher Availability, Reliability and
Maintainability (ARM) offers both increased operational capability and
reduced support costs. Poor ARM characteristics can result in reduced
operational effectiveness of a system, a greater risk of accidents and
higher cost of ownership as well as a considerable reduction in customer
satisfaction. Good ARM characteristics are inherent in a design and
cannot be a last minute add-on.
SAS has experience of applying key standards,
such as Defence Standards 00-25, 00-40, 00-41, 00-42, 00-43, 00-44,
