We use dual APN-232's with -04 SDCs on the C-17. Our experience is that we don't get many flights before we start to see problems with the CARA RT. Does anybody have any info on CARA reliability on F-16's or other platforms? The APB shows different MTBFs for F-16 depending on type and avionics block version.

Does it make any difference in the real world reliability if the CARA is shock-mounted?

Note: Don't post any MTBF numbers if the info is classified/sensitive/export controlled. Please email me with your contact info and I will contact you so that our credentials can be mutually authenticated. My goal is to establish a very broad working group among CARA users, avionics engineers, maintainers across all platforms so that we can improve the CARA system reliability.
