Effectively utilizing existing on-board and atwing data that encompasses environmental, built-in-test (BIT), vibration, and maintenance test results, can realize improved maintenance, survivability and critical failure rates via the identification of degrading components prior to critical failure. The authors have developed software to show the feasibility of onboard and at-wing prognostics using field data from an Army aircraft platform as a multifaceted case study for predicting and diagnosing the health of a mission-critical targeting subsystem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
