Abstract :
The authors discuss the requirements, the acquisition strategy, and the use of techniques and tools for implementing integrated diagnostics for mechanical systems. Integrated diagnostics is defined as a structured design and management process implemented to achieve the maximum effectiveness of diagnostic capabilities through a concurrent engineering process during weapon system design. The ultimate goal of mechanical systems integrated diagnostics is to achieve condition-based maintenance and prognostics. The focus is on reviewing the trends, requirements, utilization, and shortcomings in the automation of integrated diagnostics with the intent of creating awareness of the current efforts and a perspective for the years ahead.<>
