Adaptive Integrated Reliability
Abstract
The Adaptive Integrated Reliability program goals are to leverage real-time monitoring and the ability to effect fine-grained real-time control to significantly increase the lifecycle reliability of complex aerospace and defense systems. The program will also develop and demonstrate technology to reduce the incidence of catastrophic failure in complex aerospace defense systems through real-time detection and adaptation. The program will develop novel in-situ prognostication and health monitoring techniques applicable to complex air and space platforms. The program will develop tractable approaches to predict, identify, and respond to failures endemic to complex systems such as failure cascades, destructive emergent behavior, and off-nominal responses. To accomplish this, the program will leverage recent advances in adaptive control for fault isolation and mitigation. Adaptive Integrated Reliability will culminate with installation of the integrated reliability management system on a complex air or space platform and demonstrate 2X reliability improvement via accelerated lifecycle testing with representative stimuli. This reliability enhancement capability will enable development of a new generation of dependable complex systems and enable the compression of system test timelines by trading off testing for lifecycle reliability. The requisite design and production tools and techniques developed in the program will have immediate application to space systems and aircraft programs.
