Abstract :
The evolution of the principal military standards and handbooks for maintainability engineering over the past 25 years is reviewed. The growth and development of those documents are related to developments in both technology and equipment. In reviewing the period since 1979 it is observed that VHSIC technology, remote maintenance monitoring, and design for testability are only a few of the concepts that have been and will be incorporated into maintainability documents.
