The Expert Missile Maintenance Aid Program - Four Years Later and in the Field

Abstract

The Expert Missile Maintenance Aid (EMMA) program is discussed in this paper. The paper addresses such issues as how tactical munition field-level and depot-level expert systems were developed and evaluated as well as the excellent results of the evaluations. It was found that the use of expert systems is very amenable and beneficial to diagnosing munition faults at both maintenance levels. Current work on the productization of the GBU-15 field-level system is briefly discussed as well as issues related to using DOD-STD-2167 to document the development of expert systems. When properly tailored, DOD-STD-2167 can be an effective means of documenting and monitoring the work performed in developing an expert systems. Keywords: Artificial intelligence, Expert systems, Maintenance and diagnostics, Integrated diagnostics.
