Advanced Technology Solutions for Reliability in Low RH and the Unforgiving Environments on Land, Air, Sea & Space™

As NASA and the Department of War (DoW) innovate more advanced solutions to potentially solve problems with materials, composites, coatings and product reliability, Bob Vermillion, CEO/Founder of RMV Technology Group LLC has published numerous articles intended for manufacturing and quality engineers, technicians, innovators and the Supply Chain on the necessary requirements to meet reliability for extreme environmental conditions and low Relative Humidity (RH) on land, air, sea and space.

With proposed changes that will benefit the semiconductor sector and the global supply chain, proven mandates in NASA-STD-8739.6B (6C in revision) and related MIL-STDs (Military Standards) will become an option to follow in the Appendix.

Short term gains for an "overnight" solution to realize greater cost efficiencies and reduced oversight will inevitably lay the foundation for lack of accountability to NASA, DoW and taxpayers who fund the programs.

The "Apollo One" tragedy was the catalyst for development of NASA-STD-8739.6B by NASA and Industry SMEs. We do not want this to happen again!

The rise in profits and speed to market without reliability standards for innovation in hostile conditions will expand "short term" in which future workforce safety, economic success and national security will be at high risk without adherence to proven ESD compliance for Space & Defense Mission Readiness.

Numerous articles have been published by Bob Vermillion, SME Advanced Materials, iNARTE® Certified Product Safety and ESD Engineer on troubleshooting solutions to increase ESD material reliability and lower risk by meeting or exceeding proven Government and MIL STDs with traceable Industry Standards for compliance in hostile atmospheric climates.
