Study of Advanced Automatic Diagnostic/Prognostic Test Equipment for Maintenance of Military Automotive Vehicles

Abstract

In this review of the current technology for automatic diagnostic/ prognostic test equipment, it was found that advanced systems could be developed that would use fewer sensors and have prognostic capability by use of signature- analysis, trend-analysis, and/or failure-monitoring techniques. Developments in the electronics industry on microprocessors and in the automotive industry on sensors can be expected to make appreciable cost reductions possible in hardware for automatic test equipment. By 1980 manufacturing costs of test equipment might be half of present costs and further reductions would be possible.
