A hardness assurance program has been developed for space programs that is believed to be practical and cost effective. It includes estimates of a worst case natural and an enhanced radiation environment, addresses piece part selection and procurement, and provides methods for calculating parameter deratings for design hardening. The program emphasizes the crucial importance of examining the radiation response data with utmost care before any statistical inferences about performance and survivability are drawn from the data.
