fUGHT International, 21 January I96S what does mean ... Ferranti reliability Mean time between failures—m.t.b.f.—is a measure of the reliability of an equipment. Whether that equipment is a simple gyro gunsightorthe interception radar of the Lightning, the weapon- aiming system of the Buccaneer or the terrain-following radar of theTSR2, it must be reliable to ensure high probabilities of mission success in the most arduous environments. Reliability of electronic equipment also permits high utilization of the aircraft, with increased effectiveness of the weapons system and more economic maintenance. In the next generation of aircraft, standards of reliability are even more exacting, and Ferranti are developing entirely new integrated radar, inertial and gyroscopic systems that will meet these standards. In these advanced projects Ferranti policy is simply to produce the best and most reliable navigation and weapon-aiming systems in the world.
