1. RELIABILITY, MAINTAINABILITY (AND SAFETY) PLAN OVERVIEW

1.1 Introduction

This Plan describes the organization and responsibilities for the reliability, maintainability (and safety) (RAMS) engineering tasks that will be integrated into the design, development, production and in-service support activities for the Super system project. It also describes the RAMS tasks that will be undertaken.

The RAMS requirements form part of the overall performance requirements for the system, as described in Reference 1.
