In this project the Clinic Team has applied the concepts and methods of Reliability Engineering, Developmental Testing, and Design Enhancement on an actual electronic subsystem to be deployed on an electronic surveillance helicopter. This en-tails following a systematic top-down approach including planning the project, gathering technical information, implementing the plan, executing the test regimen, analyzing the results and, time permitting, incorporating the design changes and retesting, which is close to the project approach in use in the aerospace industry.
