Is that operating time or elapsed time? I would have thought they were talking about operating time.

Even so, there is still a strong argument for more reliable gyros. If the mean time is, say, 5000 hours, then perhaps 20% fail during the useful life of the vehicle. It would be preferable to have a unit that would almost certainly outlive the tank, at least for initial installation or repairs. As for replacement of all existing gyros, that would be problematic, unless you are talking about the gyrs with a 600 hour failure time. Might as well replace them at leisure once, than wait for them to failure at an inopportune time.
