Intelligent Repair Systems
Abstract
Tactical Wheeled Vehicles provide supplies, parts, and people to the field in support of combat missions. It is essential to the Army that an operation ready fleet is maintained. This mission readiness can be greatly increased by analyzing targeted data through use of intelligent vehicle repair systems. Many vehicles have been electronically upgraded to provide improved diagnostic information. However, this information is not widely leveraged from a vehicle or fleet wide perspective. The institution of integrated solutions that allow for condition based maintenance will provide commanders and operators with up to date vehicle status, performance, and repair information thereby decreasing a vehicles downtime in the field. An integrated prototype solution that enhances vehicle maintenance by providing immediate fault detection and intelligent repair information is currently being developed. This system lays the groundwork for the development of prognostic algorithms within future platforms.
