Ebook: Health Monitoring of Munitions

(Смит Пол Дж. Мониторинг состояния боеприпасов).Report. - Indian Head, Maryland: Naval Surface warfare Center. 2004. – 7 р.When mankind first began to accumulate «stuff», it became necessary to keep track of «the stuff», know the condition of «the stuff» and determine how long «the stuff» would last. As the quantities of «stuff» increased these tasks have become more difficult. The «stuff» is now in excess of 2 million tons. Through the ages various systems have been devised to achieve these goals. Many systems for inventory are labor intensive and prone to error. Once an error in inventory is made, it has a ripple effect to degrade the accuracy of the system. Inventories have the best accuracy the day they are taken and continually degrade until the next time the process is undertaken.
