Abstract :
Reliability is probably the most important single factor in marine radar today. Improved components and the introduction of solidstate devices have radically improved the prospects of achieving high reliability, but more comprehensive control of quality, particularly under extremes of environmental conditions, is necessary during design and throughout production. This paper describes how the principles established by the Advisory Group on the Reliability of Electronic Equipment in the U.S.A. were utilized in the design and production of commercial electronic equipment.
