3 Why FIDES Existing predictive reliability methods are inadequate MIL-HDBK-217 is widely obsolete Not updated since 1991 / 1995, Not adapted for civil application and pessimistic for civil components, IEC TR Ed.1 (RDF 2003) or PRISM / 217+ don t propose complete answers Not adapted for complex mission profile, Not adapted for rugged environment (humidity, vibration,,), Unable to sort by COTS manufacturers, 3

4 What is FIDES What is FIDES? FIDES is a new reliability methodology for electronic systems using COTS, The FIDES Guide 2004 issue A Reliability Methodology for Electronic Systems was published in 2004, and is now the standard UTE C since 2005 (in english & french), This Guide is an answer to two strong needs : To have realistic reliability prediction during the development of an electronic product To provide engineering process and tools to assess equipment system reliability 4

5 What is FIDES The FIDES Guide is developed by : AIRBUS France, Eurocopter, Nexter Electronics, MBDA missile systems (leader), THALES Avionics, THALES Services SAS, THALES Airborne Systems, THALES Underwater Systems, Under the aegis of the French MOD which cofinanced the development, FIDES 1 contract : From 2001 to 2004, FIDES 2 contract : From 2006 to 2008, 5

6 What is FIDES FIDES proposes a new reliability methodology for systems using COTS As accurate as possible, Useful for building and evaluating the reliability of systems, Usable for many items, including COTS families, Parts Boards Sub-assemblies 6

7 What is FIDES The FIDES methodology Include new technologies, Take into account all the influences on reliability like : Technologies, Application (naval, airborne, avionics, automotive, ), Life cycle (specification, design, manufacture, system integration, maintenance), Actual use conditions (thermal, mechanical, electrical, ), Overstresses. 7

8 What is FIDES The FIDES methodology predict failure rates and is based on four main factors. Physical failure rate (technologies, nominal use conditions): λ physical Overstress: Π induced Part production quality level: Π part manufacturing Quality and technical control of the reliability in the equipment lifecycle : Π process 8

9 What is FIDES Π induced Is the contribution of overstresses not classified as such. Takes into account Π Process The influence of the item's position in the equipment or system, The influence of the application operating environment of the product containing the item, The influence of the overstress integration policy in the equipment, The overstress sensitivity coefficient inherent in the technology of the COTS. Is representative of the quality and technical control of the reliability in the product life cycle (from specification to maintenance), Can be assessed through an audit of the reliability process during the whole lifecycle of an equipment or system. 9

10 What is FIDES Technologies Reliability Process Use 10

11 FIDES experimentation Today available tools The FIDES Group has developed Excel sheets for an easy application of the methodology A tool part method A tool board method A tool process factor These tools can be sent on demand at fides@innovations.net and after May, 2007 can be downloaded directly at 11

12 FIDES 2 Goal N 1: «keep alive» the methodology Set up a structure to maintain the methodology FIDES after FIDES 2 contract. International standardization of the methodology: IEC 12

13 FIDES 2 Goal N 2 : Enhance the methodology Take into account returns on the application of the methodology, Increase the modelled families, Examples of new models Hybrid and MCMs, Keyboards, «part count» method, Update of IC failure rates, Etc,, Develop instructions for the construction of the mission profile, supply more examples, Produce the FIDES guide

14 FIDES 2 Goal 3: Experiment the methodology, develop tools Experiment the methodology for its validation, Develop a free of charge tool that allow everybody to experiment the methodology, Promote the development of FIDES tools by editors specialized in RAMS or CAD, in order to have various commercial offers which allows every company to find the convenient tool. FIDES Group can help to validate the product 14

15 FIDES 2 Goal N 4: deployment Communicate on the methodology Launch a web site dedicated to FIDES in May, 2007 Prepare training courses dedicated to the use of FIDES 15

16 FIDES web site The address of the FIDES web site will be : «fides-reliability.org» This web site will provide in English : Access to guides and tools, Information on developments, methods, Events, links, news, important experiences, A forum allowing all the users to discuss and exchange data, A protected access area to allow working groups to exchange data, A direct contact to the consortium FIDES for any question, and all you could suggest, 16

18 Positions of French contractors French MOD (DGA) The FIDES Guide was integrated in the RNPA (Programs of Armament Standard Referential). It is quoted as a reference method in multiple new projects of armament. French spatial Agency (CNES) This Agency realized a detailed evaluation of FIDES methodology. This evaluation concluded that FIDES can be used for space applications (see publications in " Actualités composants du CNES " n 17 in October, 2004 and n 18 in January, 2005). EDF group EDF R&D realized an evaluation of the method, and has regular contacts with FIDES Group. 18

19 Positions of French contractors AIRBUS AIRBUS asks for a predictive reliability evaluation without requiring a method. FIDES is referenced and can be recommended. Automotive FIDES group worked in partnership with the French Bureau of Automotive Standardization (BNA) during the elaboration of the FIDES Guide

20 International interest Indicator of spread : Breakdown by country of the origin of the contacts taken at the following address : fides@innovations.net Others 9% Germany 2% USA 16% France 67% United Kingdom 6% 20

21 International interest Indicator of spread : Today, the Israeli company ALD proposes a FIDES module in its RAM COMMANDER software, At the end of 2007, Norisko (DEKRA group) will propose also a FIDES module. 21

22 International interest Some publications outside France BOEING: IEEE MRQW Manhattan Beach, CA, USA December 7, 2004 "COTS Electronics Reliability RAYTHEON: Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS)- ALEXANDRIA, VA, USA January 24-27, 2005 "EXPERIENCE REPORT ON THE FIDES GUIDE RELIABILITY PREDICTION METHOD" KEMET Electronic Corp. : Commercialization of Military & Space Electronics Conference & Exhibition - Los Angeles Airport, CA, USA - February 7-10, Comparative Analysis of Military Standard to Commercial (COTS) Capacitors 22
