From page 103...
... This type of facility can handle a great many flight hours at low cost for a wide range of vehicle types and component technologies. The lessons learned from these tests and from the architecture developed to complete them are relevant for a large variety of aerospace systems.
From page 104...
... Ongoing research is being done on expanding the application of healthbased diagnostic and "longer viewing" prognostic algorithms, which could significantly improve real-time decision making. Recent research has focused on how these technologies might be used in real time to augment decision mak ing by autonomous systems and systems-of-systems.
From page 105...
... RECENT ADvANCES Recent advances in motion-capture technology combined with continued developments in small-scale electronics can enable the rapid design and evalu ation of flight vehicle concepts (Troy et al., 2007)
From page 106...
... EXPERIMENTAL ENvIRONMENT FOR INTEGRATED SYSTEMS To address the challenges mentioned above, Boeing Research & Technology has integrated component technologies into an open architecture with simplified subsystems and systems with sufficient fidelity to explore critical, emergent issues. Representative, simple systems consisting of small, commercially avail able vehicles are modified to include health awareness.
From page 107...
... The mission management application was used to explore opportunities associated with health-based adaptations and obtain some initial information. LESSONS LEARNED Three missions were evaluated to determine the flexibility of the architecture and the indoor facility to test a variety of concepts rapidly.
From page 108...
... Areas for Future Research First, we need a more formal framework for evaluating technologies and analyzing experimental results. This research should address the following ques tions: What tools can be developed to guide decisions about which technologies to insert?
