摘要
This paper theoretically analyzes the influence of weapon reltability on maintenance and support cost （ M＆S cost） in multi-theater deployments. Based on the M＆S data of typical on-board equipment, it analyzes in depth the M＆S cost in a three-theater deployment scenario with PRICE software and the influence of reliability on M＆S cost. The result shows that under the same hardware parameter index, the M＆S cost in multi-theater deployments is much higher than that in one-theater deployments and that the cost of equipment Mean Time Between Failures （ MTBF） is also more sensitive than that in one-theater deployments, particularly when the MTBF is relatively low. As a result, the requirement for equipment reliability is higher in multi-theater deployments.
