AFSPCI13-611 covers mission areas, roles, the satellite reliability engineering process, assessment inputs, assessments, and distribution. It requires compliance, defines applicability and exclusions, and addresses waivers, supplements, and records.
Applies to: It applies to Headquarters, Air Force Space Command (HQ AFSPC), Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) and supporting agencies.
Reliability Engineering Assessments (REA) serve as the engineering baseline for subsequent mission resilience analyses in contested, degraded, and operationally limited environments and to support the HQ AFSPC planning, programming, budgeting and execution (PPBE) process.
The current HQ AFSPC mission areas required to produce REAs are: Positioning Navigation and Timing (PNT), Missile Warning (strategic and theater), Protected/Polar Communications, Environmental Monitoring, and Wideband Communications.
Supplements will not lessen the requirements nor change the basic content or intent of this instruction.
HQ AFSPC will model mission area capabilities based on design and actual reliability parameters.
