TITAN II Reliability and Aging Surveillance Program (RASP)

Abstract : This report provides the results of RASP Phase I and Phase IA testing as completed for Missile Airborne and Ground Support Systems. The Phase I testing is conducted in conjunction with the missile recycle and removal of the engines for testing under the Service Life Analysis Program (SLAP), and includes special and critical testing of all airborne and ground support equipment for aging trends. Phase IA testing does not involve Recycle, SLAP Testing or Downloading of Propellants, but includes testing of all critical airborne and support equipment for launch readiness verification, aging trends, logistic support, special testing or inspection requirements. The data collected during RASP testing are reduced, analyzed and applied to the Titan II Weapon System Mathematical Model to produce estimates of system reliability. The actual system reliability estimates obtained are reported in the OO-ALC System Effectiveness Report (RCS LOG-MM(Q)7372).
