Military & Defense

Defense organizations today face a triad of pressures: shrinking budgets, increasingly complex systems, and the growing emphasis on Performance-Based Contracting (PBC). These dynamics demand a new approach to system design, sustainment, and life-cycle management. MADE (Maintenance Aware Design Ecosystem) delivers a model-based engineering solution that transforms how air, land, sea, and unmanned defense systems are designed, analyzed, and supported, enhancing mission readiness while controlling cost and risk.

Curious how? Read on to discover the power of Model-based RAMS for Military & Defense industries.

Model-based RAMS and Reliability Software for Military and Defense

Model-Based RAMS

Engineering for Mission Assurance

MADE enables defense programs to answer critical questions during both system development and sustainment:

  • Are effective Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) capabilities built into the system design?
  • Does the design meet contracted supportability goals under PBC frameworks?
  • Can unmanned systems optimize uptime through integrated diagnostics and health management?
  • What targeted engineering changes can mitigate operational failures in legacy systems?

By digitizing the RAMS process and integrating safety, reliability, maintainability, and diagnostics into a single digital model, MADE provides a Digital Risk Twin to assess risk, validate design decisions, and improve lifecycle outcomes.

Why You Need MADE

How MADE Adds Value Across Each Key Role

Executive Level

  • Cost: Improve forecasting accuracy for design and sustainment budgets.
  • Process: Enforce traceable, auditable validation of engineering across programs.
  • Technical: Integrate RAMS analyses seamlessly with CAD, PLM, and digital twin architectures.

Reliability Engineer

  • Cost: Reduce time spent manually generating FMECA, RBDs, and reliability predictions by leveraging automated modeling and analysis.
  • Process:Execute structured and repeatable RAM analyses within a common environment that supports integration with lifecycle data.
  • Technical:Identify critical failure paths, conduct trade studies, and quantify component/system reliability using integrated simulation tools.

Safety Engineer

  • Cost:Reduce certification risk and rework by identifying safety hazards early in the design process.
  • Process:Standardize safety case generation with automated Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and hazard identification workflows.
  • Technical:Ensure compliance with safety standards (e.g., ARP4761, MIL-STD-882) and maintain traceability of risk mitigations through system changes.

Maintenance Engineer

  • Cost:Model and validate maintenance strategies to optimize Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) and reduce lifecycle sustainment costs.
  • Process:Evaluate logistics and supportability options using Repairable Systems Modeling, CBM simulation, and crew/resource allocation tools.
  • Technical:Analyze maintainability metrics, task intervals, and crew workloads to support ILS, LORA, and maintenance planning deliverables.

Diagnostics Engineer

  • Cost:Minimize development cycles for diagnostics by reusing Digital Risk Twin data to validate built-in test (BIT) strategies.
  • Process:Use the Digital Diagnostic Twin (DDT) to assess and improve fault detection, isolation, and recovery coverage.
  • Technical:Evaluate and verify diagnostics effectiveness, fault isolation logic, and PHM algorithms in the context of mission operations.

Senior Engineer (Cross-Disciplinary Leadership)

  • Cost:Perform system-level trade-offs and make informed design decisions early, reducing downstream risk and engineering churn.
  • Process:Coordinate RAMS disciplines using a single source of truth and integrated model for concurrent analysis and validation.
  • Technical:Lead architecture reviews, validate system risk assumptions, and communicate technical decisions with traceable analysis across teams.

Model-based Fault Tree Analysis with MADE Reliability Software for Energy Markets

Fault Tree Analysis

Automated Risk Tracing for Mission Assurance

MADE’s automated Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) capability enables rapid and consistent identification of critical failure paths within defense systems. By systematically tracing fault propagation from top-level events to underlying root causes, it supports mission assurance, enhances platform safety, ensures regulatory and MIL-STD compliance. Get all your CDRLs at the touch of a button.

Model-based FMEA Reliability Software for Energy Markets

Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA)

Accelerated, Objective, and Repeatable Risk Assessment

MADE’s automated Model-Based FMEA delivers an objective, high-fidelity analysis for early identification of potential failure modes across mission-critical defense platforms and systems. It supports system design maturation, DoD compliance (e.g., MIL-STD-1629A), & reliability engineering by addressing risks before they compromise mission effectiveness or warfighter safety. The model-based architecture ensures traceability, repeatability, and rapid iteration as system designs evolve.

Model-based Functional Hazard Assessment with MADE Reliability Software for Energy Markets

Functional Hazard Assessment

Enhancing Safety of Mission-Critical Power Systems

MADE’s Functional Hazard Assessment (FHA) capability enables early-stage identification and prioritization of functional failure conditions in power and mission systems. Conducted during system design, it aligns with aviation and defense standards such as MIL-STD-882E and ARP4761, supporting airworthiness and system safety objectives. By linking functional architecture to potential hazards, MADE provides traceability to loss-of-function scenarios and ensures proactive mitigation of safety-critical risks.
