Integrated Air & Missile Defense Systems Prognostics & Health Management

Impact Technologies, LLC, along with our industry partners, proposes to develop a prognostic system framework and technologies implementing the state of the art in system prognostics and health management creating a truly prognostic enabled health management system answering the requirements for the Army’s newest Integrated Battle Command System. Principle objectives include: 1) Demonstrate the feasibility and utility of PHM approaches to IAMD systems and 2) Illustrate the systems engineering process to assess, prioritize, evaluate, and deploy capabilities designed to immediately impact the Army’s bottom line for operations and sustainment delivering truly useful capabilities to the soldier. The core effort of the Phase I program will focus on demonstrating the application of PHM technologies across interconnected systems and highlight the process and architecture, along with the verification and validation techniques required to measure success and guide a spiraled development and “PHM capability growth” for the fielded system. The program will include development of a proof-of-concept demonstration and creation of a PHM design guide for program managers and system developers is necessary to ensure a reasoned, methodical, and traceable process informs decisions through identification of the intersections of need, technology availability, and return on investment, essential to justifying PHM system design choices.
