Avionics/Electronics Quick Reliability Assessment

Abstract

This report describes the Quick Reliability Assessment Tool (QRAT) developed under this effort. The QRAT is a configurable data acquisition device designed to collect, process, and store environmental data for military and commercial electronic systems. It is designed for easy transfer from one platform to another, and to operate on its own battery, independent of the platform. The battery is considerably larger than the QRAT device itself. Highly accurate sensor systems are combined with state of the art processing units to capture and store a wide range of physical data to be used in predictive maintenance and other history based prognostics. Triaxial vibration, physical shock, temperature, humidity, and voltage transient data are processed and recorded in real time by a 0.9 X 3 X 4 inch Sensor and Electronics Package and transferred to a host PC for post collection display and analysis.
