RAM Analysis in propulsion system in Submarines

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) of a submarine propulsion system. The study aims to enhance understanding of the critical factors influencing the performance and operational readiness of these systems. A detailed case study is conducted, employing advanced RAM methodologies to evaluate failure rates, mean down time (MDT), and reliability calculations. The analysis is supported by theoretical frameworks and empirical data, highlighting the importance of robust design and maintenance strategies. Key findings indicate that optimizing component reliability and implementing predictive maintenance can significantly improve system availability. The insights gained from this research provide valuable guidance for engineers and decision-makers in the defense sector, seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of submarine propulsion systems.
