"They are highly complex. They are many different systems and subsystems that are composed of highly complex hardware, software and electronics and many failure modes. It’s incredible. So, definitely, we’re using the tools and methods that [HBM Prenscia and ReliaSoft] would be involved in."

"For example, Design FMEA, Process FMEA, FRACAS, reliability growth, accelerated testing — those are all inherent procedures that we use on a daily basis at BAE. For example, RGA and ALTA Pro, as we look at the ridesharing and mobility platform ideas out there, the ability to highly accelerate testing will be critical."

"In my experience with [HBM Prenscia and] ReliaSoft in previous assignments, we saw a willingness to respond to our needs. To add various capabilities, and to add details to the mode that maybe weren’t there today, but that they would look at the opportunity to meet those needs. So we found that to be very useful. They would respond to feedback."
