The mean time between failures of mission-essential functions, calculated as the ratio of active hours (those excluding scheduled maintenance) and the number of critical failures.

mean time between downing events (MTBDE)

Semiconductors; Test equipment

A measure calculated as the total uptime over the number of downing events.
