Effects of High Inherent Availability
•High MTBF
•Few Preventive
Maintenance actions
•Long Maintenance
Intervals •Less GSE
•Less Spares
More flight-time
•Fewer Personnel
and
=
Less Total
•Short Maintenance/ Reduced Logistics Footprint

One example from our civil experience –
low LCC and high availability
One example from our military experience –
low LCC and high availability
LOW LCC
Gripen – Designed to break the trend
Unbeatable Life Cycle Cost
But also designed to be ready when you are
– high built in availability
Rearming:
Air-to-air 10 - 30 minutes
Air-to-ground 20 - 45 minutes
Reconnaissance 15 minutes
Minimum need of resources
Example of replacement times:
•Engine - less than 1 hour
•All avionics - less than 1 hour
•Gun - less than 10 minutes
