Sequential Method of Reliability Parameters Estimation for Radio Equipment

Abstract

Radio equipment for aircraft flight supporting consists of communication, navigation and surveillance devices. These devices are used to provide the safety and regularity of aircraft flights. During radio equipment operation the processes of intended use, maintenance, repair, continuation of life service are implemented. The decision-making about control and preventive actions for these processes is based on the results of statistical data processing. In such cases statistical methods with predetermined sample size are used. This paper concentrates on the problem of synthesis of sequential method that allows making decision faster for given level of data processing effectiveness. The researched sequential method is used for estimation of reliability parameters based on priory information about these parameters distribution and functional transformation of corresponding probability density function. During solving analysis problem, the probability density functions of estimate and observation duration are calculated.
