Abstract: With increasing competition in the military market, expediting the problem solving process has become crucial in the military industry. Today, there are numerous tools and techniques to support efficient solving of various problems. All the tools have distinct advantages and drawbacks. This paper shows synergetic use of two techniques: Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) and Axiomatic design (AD). The approach has been demonstrated through real life military engineering exampl

Key words: Axiomatic design, TRIZ, Reliability, Military equipment, Weapons.
