MEAN TIME BETWEEN FAILURE (MTBF)
The MTBFs for the Oncore family of GPS receivers have been computed using the
methods, formulas, and database of MIL-HDBK-217.
Table 3.9: Oncore Receiver Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)
Average
temperature (ºC)
VP Oncore

MTBF (hours)
40 596,921 1,114,077
35 777,404 1,285,262
30 927,386 1,467,496
25 1,164,043 1,649,656
The above information is computed assuming a static application in a benign
environment at the given temperatures. These reliability predictions only provide
broad estimates of the expected random failure rates of the electrical components
during the useful life of the product, and are not to be used as absolute indications of
true field failure rates. The above MTBF values may not correspond to actual field
failure rates.
