Turbine Engine Diagnostics (TED): A Practical Application of a Diagnostic Expert System.

Abstract

Turbine engine diagnostics (TED) is a diagnostic expert system that aids the M1 Abrams' mechanic in finding and fixing problems in the AGT-1500 turbine engine. TED was designed to provide the apprentice mechanic the ability to diagnose and repair the turbine engine like an expert mechanic. This report discusses the reasoning method used in TED, called the procedural reasoning system (PRS), as well as various design considerations throughout the life of the project. The expert system was designed and built by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and the U.S. Army Ordnance Center and School (USAOC&S). TED has been fielded to both the Active Army and the National Guard.
