Abstract :
This paper describes the establishment of a real-time link of engine status information between the M1 Abrams tank and logistics maintainers at the battalion and brigade level. The system in the tank is called TED On-Board (TOB) and is an extension of a currently fielded (off board) diagnostic system called TED (Turbine Engine Diagnostics)
