Integrated Air & Missile Defense Systems Prognostics & Health Management

Impact Technologies, LLC is developing a prognostic system framework and technologies that implement state-of-the-art system prognostics and health management to create a truly prognostic-enabled health management system for the Army’s newest Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS). Principal objectives include 1) Build on the Phase I success and demonstration of feasibility and utility of PHM approaches to IAMD systems by demonstrating an enterprise architecture for system health management; 2) Mature the systems engineering tools supporting the process to assess, prioritize, evaluate, and deploy System of Systems (SoS) health management capabilities; 3) Implement SoS health management for integrated air & missile defense systems that leverages existing system data & balances reliability growth, traditional diagnostics, reliability centered maintenance, and condition-based prognostics & health management. The core effort of the Phase II program will focus on maturing and implementing the application of PHM technologies across interconnected systems and document the process and architecture, along with demonstrating the verification and validation techniques required to measure success and guide a spiraled development and “PHM capability growth” for the fielded system.
