Abstract
Current and planned applications of advanced computer concepts to the onboard, in-flight fault-detection problem for reduction of cannot-duplicate-type faults are described. Also discussed is progress in computer-aided, ground-based troubleshooting for the further assistance of maintenance personnel to reduce the retest-OK problem. Demonstration of the F-16 maintenance diagnostic system has shown that a complex flight control system can be modeled to troubleshoot all the aspects of the flight-control systems including lowest replaceable units (LRUs), sub-LRUs, wiring, and connectors
