Zusammenfassung:	Recognizing that systems were not achieving adequate reliability during development, leading to reduced warfighting capability and tremendous cost growth, the Joint Requirements Oversight Council acted in August 2006 to require a mandatory sustainment key performance parameter, materiel availability, and two supporting key system attributes, materiel reliability and ownership cost, for all new major defense acquisition programs and other selected programs. This article summarizes the background and rationale for the metrics and discusses some of the additional actions being taken to implement a disciplined approach to reliability and availability.
