The FIDES Guide 2009 (UTE-C 80811) was updated in 2009 by a consortium of leading French international aeronautical and defense companies, under the supervision of the DGA (Délégation Générale pour l'Armenent - French Ministry of Defense). It offers a reliability prediction methodology based on physics of failure, and provides failure rate models for electrical, electronic and electromagnetic components, as well as for commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) board assemblies. Lambda Predict provides full support for defining different operating phases (life profile). The software also guides you through the pi factor assessments recommended by the standard and makes it easy to reuse supplier/process evaluations when applicable.
