Abstract

The Air Force will require the ability to diagnose and predict component failures in order to more effectively meet the requirements of the fast and agile Aerospace Expeditionary Force (AEF) and future space vehicles. This paper will cover topics relevant to Vehicle Health Management for current and anticipated support environments. It reflects current projects underway at the Air Force Research lab in the Air Vehicles and Human Effectiveness Directorates. Specifically, the Predictive Failures & Advanced Diagnostics (PFAD) for Legacy Aircraft, Passive Aircraft Status System (PASS), and the Space Operations Vehicle Integrated System (SOVIS) projects will be discussed
