Abstract :
This paper describes a methodology for quantifying the return-on-investment (ROI) for the adoption of electronic prognostics in mil/aero systems. An example using the methodology will be taken from publicly-available data on switch-mode power supplies for the Eurofighter but the principles described are extensible to other mil/aero systems
