0.1.4 Representative Configurations The last column in the tables in· Appendix D indicates whether the vehicle configuration is considered sufficiently similar to- current and future vehicles for the test result to be included in the representative data sample used to· predict absolute reliability. A "1" in the column indicates that the test result is included, while a "(Y' indicates that it is excluded. There are likely to be differences of opinion about which past configurations are representative and which are not. In determining which to include, RTI has relied entirely on the Booz•Allen & Hamilton report'41 referred to earlier. When faced with the same problem, Booz•Allen established the following criteria for deciding whether past configurations were sufficiently similar to current configurations: (1) Genealogy: Is the current system a direct or indirect derivative of the historical configuration? (2) Operations: Is the current system operated in the same manner as the historical configurations (e.g., ICBM versus space-launch vehicle)? (3) Composition: Does the current system use the same types of elements (i.e., SRMs, upper stage, etc.)? Based on these criteria and other factors, Booz•Allen decided to use test results from flights of the following vehicle configurations to predict future success rates: Atlas: SLV-3 and later configurations to include SLV-3A, SLV-3C, SLV-3D, G, H, I, II, IIA, ITAS. (Excluded: Atlas A, B, C, LV-3A, 3B, 3C, D, E, F) Delta: 291X and later configurations to include 391X, 392X, 492X, 592X, 692X, 792X. Titan: Titan IIIC and later configurations to include IIIB, IIID, IIIE, 34B, 34D, III/CT, IV, II-SLV. 9/10/96 100
Vision Description (EN)
Page 109 of the DoW UAP report (D48, September 1996) presents section 0.1.4 'Representative Configurations.' The page discusses criteria developed by Booz•Allen & Hamilton for determining whether past vehicle configurations are sufficiently similar to current systems to include their test results in reliability predictions. Three criteria are enumerated: (1) Genealogy (direct/indirect derivative relationship), (2) Operations (same operational manner), and (3) Composition (same element types). The page lists three major launch vehicle families—Atlas, Delta, and Titan—with their included and excluded configuration models. Page footer shows '9/10/96' (date), '100' (page number), and 'RTI' (publisher). Text is clean and unredacted, with no visual classification markings, stamps, or graphics.
Descrição Vision (PT-BR)
A página 109 do relatório UAP do DoW (D48, setembro de 1996) apresenta a seção 0.1.4 'Representative Configurations'. A página discute critérios desenvolvidos pela Booz•Allen & Hamilton para determinar se configurações anteriores de veículos são suficientemente similares aos sistemas atuais para incluir seus resultados de teste em previsões de confiabilidade. Três critérios são enumerados: (1) Genealogy (relação de derivação direta/indireta), (2) Operations (mesma maneira operacional), e (3) Composition (mesmos tipos de elementos). A página lista três famílias principais de veículos de lançamento—Atlas, Delta e Titan—com seus modelos de configuração inclusos e exclusos. O rodapé da página mostra '9/10/96' (data), '100' (número da página) e 'RTI' (editora). O texto é limpo e sem redações, sem marcações de classificação visual, selos ou gráficos.
