Abstract :
The major supportability issue facing the US Department of Defense in the 1990s is increased operational availability of weapon platforms while reducing the logistic pipeline. The systems engineering methodology is discussed, along with a transition plan for existing systems that converges on two levels of maintenance. The proposed approach is top-down and structured for supportability through the life cycle of the system. The major focus is on integrated diagnostics and reconfigurable hardware for onboard fault management
