Abstract :
The author presents a brief case history of support engineering integration during development of the HARM Weapon System, a joint Navy/Air Force program that achieved its design reliability requirements. The overall approach and the analyses are reviewed. Use of available reliability and maintainability (R and M) CAE tools allowed timely integration of the support engineering functions. However, the tools have some shortcomings that limit R and M engineers´ effectiveness
