Demonstration of an sli vehicle health management system with in-flight and ground-based subsystem interfaces

Tool-Supported Verification of Contingency Software Design in Evolving, Autonomous Systems

“…Patterson-Hine et al investigated potential failures or malfunctions of engine and thruster components on a helicopter, together with the effects on the system and the visibility into faults obtainable on the ground [13]; see also [5]. Whalley et al subsequently described the challenges involved in using vehicle health modeling of a UAV to assist in automated transition from remote control of the vehicle to computer control [18].…”

The practical value of health management in space exploration systems

“…The CBS identifies the critical capabilities, provides definitions and metrics by which the effectiveness of these capabilities may be measured, and assessed the state of the art of these capabilities against a set of hypothetical scenarios (architectures) put forth for implementing the new exploration initiative. In the aggregate, the two groups define a comprehensive view that is required to 1 accommodate and support the annual funding profile that program managers deal with continually, and which typically tends to obscure health management progress. Notwithstanding fiscal variability, funding health management piecemeal can still result in specific, quantifiable, and practical value to the overall health management goals.…”
