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.

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.
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.
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.
