Samenvatting
High reliability electronics engineering is one of the key driving forces for economic recovery. This book offers a focused study of the history and uses of high reliability solid state electronics, military standards, and space systems that support national security and defense. Unique in combining the interdependent evolution of and inter–relationships among military standards, solid state electronics, and very high–reliability space systems, it offers essential knowledge for those in the fields of aerospace, engineering, instrumentation, measurement, testing, and quality control.
