Implementation of the Production Version of the Performance and Calibration Modules of the MK 92 Mod 2 Fire Control System Maintenance Advisor Expert System.

Abstract

The MK 92 Mod 2 Fire Control System (FCS) is a complex, maintenance intensive shipboard weapon system found primarily aboard the Oliver Hazard Perry class fast frigates (FFG-7). A maintenance advisor expert system (MAES) is being developed by the Port Hueneme Division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center and the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) to assist the Fire Control Technicians aboard ship to better isolate faults in the MK 92 Mod 2 FCS. This thesis furthers the efforts of the project at NPS by investigating key hardware and software implementation issues that involve the deployment of the MAES to the fleet. Additional deployment issues addressed in this thesis include software documentation, integration of Performance and Calibration Modules, and the feasibility of the MAES being used as a training aid.
