In the dynamic world of tech development, reliability often takes a back seat, yet it’s a silent hero that can make or break mission success. Meet Dr. David Mortin, a branch chief at DAC, leading the charge on prioritizing reliability in tech innovation.  

When reliability becomes an afterthought, costs soar! Dr. Mortin emphasizes the power of Reliability Growth and innovative engineering to reshape the narrative. His team collaborates across DEVCOM centers, delivering solutions that strike the perfect balance between cost and reliability.  

Did you know? A modest 10% boost in reliability for a major weapon system translates to substantial savings, potentially reaching billions over the system life cycle. Plus, enhanced reliability mitigates the risk of costly schedule delays.  

The RelTools Dashboard is the game-changer! This interactive platform offers a practical toolkit for growth planning, tracking, and projection of reliability models. It’s the go-to interface for Product Managers, DEVCOM centers, DoD organizations, and defense contractors seeking excellence in reliability.  

“Our analyses don’t just examine targets; they redefine them. Sometimes they identify risks, other times they establish testing lengths. We’re driving reliability innovation,” notes Dr. Mortin.   

Embrace the future of tech development with reliability at its core!    

 Whether you’re in the field, laboratory or office, you can harness the power of reliability to drive mission success. Try the Reliability Dashboard today! 


Inputting and exporting planning curves are a fundamental feature of the RelTools dashboard that effectively models their sustainability, further assisting project leaders in making the most efficient, dependable products.

As one of the eight U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Centers and a subordinate of the U.S. Army Futures Command, The (DEVCOM) Analysis Center (DAC) informs Army transformation and readiness decisions across the system’s life cycle through objective integrated system-level Analysis, and the development of credible Data and Analytic Tools. DAC is one of eight Centers and Labs within DEVCOM.  Visit the DEVCOM website for more information.
