Advances in lntegrated System Heath Management System Technologies: Overview of NASA and Industry Collaborative Activities

This paper will describe recent advances in ISHM technologies made through collaboration between NASA and industry. In particular, the paper will focus on past, present, and future technology development and maturation efforts at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and its industry partner, Northrop Grumman lntegrated Systems (NGIS). Through numerous collaborations in ISHM technology development programs, including DOD's Joint Strike Fighter, NASA's 2nd Generation Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV), Orbital Space Plane (OSP), X-33 RLV, Revolutionary Concepts (Revcon), and Intelligent Systems programs, JPL and NGlS have developed extensive experience in all aspects of end-to-end ISHM systems. In particular, the partners have worked in these areas: 1) Design for ISHM Technologies for system analysis and trade studies, model creation, verification and validation 2) ISHM for Operations Technologies for real-time advanced diagnostic reasoning and self-assessment. 3) ISHM for Maintenance -technologies for planning repairs, controlling inventory, training repair crews, and analyzing logistics. NGlS and NASA continue to jointly develop and mature these and other ISHM technologies under NASA's Exploration Systems Research and Technology (ESR&T) programs in support of the nation's new human space exploration initiative (http:l/www.exploration.nasa.gov/). We will present a review of these activities and discuss technology development and maturation, lessons learned, and new direction for further development and application of ISHM technologies.
