sonar system MTBF
(OP)
Does anyone have a feel a typical MTBF for a sonar system. I can't provide any details of the system except that is of medium complexity wrt size, weight, parts count etc.
thanks
thanks

RE: sonar system MTBF
Given the limited amount of room on a submarine for carrying spares and the criticality of the system for vessel survival, I could imagine that something on the order of 1500 to 2000 hrs would be a reasonable requirement.

The use of spares and subsystem redundancy might improve the availability of such systems as not to require high reliabilities. This tradeoff analysis is nevertheless useful in generating resonable and achievable system reliability requirements and goals.
