Abstract :
This paper describes the Tactical Air Command (TAC) methodology for stating R&M requirements for new systems and improving the combat capabilities of existing systems. It focuses on why TAC chose to state R&M in broad, output terms and illustrates three ways the R&M 2000 program has increased the emphasis on supporting fielded systems. Specifically, attention is given to two new technologies which should profoundly affect the maintainability of tactical systems.
