The base repair cycle for the F-102 fire control system.

Annette Weifenbach

ResearchPublished 1959

Data on the base repair cycle for the case of the F-102 fire-control system from Project FULL HOUSE and an attempt to indicate the supply implications. Several factors analyzed are the length of the base repair cycle and the percentages of malfunctions repaired at the base, requiring spare boxes and requiring parts in base repair. These malfunctions are classified into groups in which the boxes are sent to the depot for repair, are replaced with spares and sent to radar mockup for repair, are repaired and reinstalled in the same aircraft, and are repaired in aircraft or in field maintenance shops, not in mockup. In addition to furnishing inputs for other RAND research, this study may prove useful as a fund of basic information for Air Force logistics specialists interested in data of maintenance-operation interactions
