System Level Diagnosis

  • Chapter
System Test and Diagnosis

Abstract

A key element in our approach to efficient diagnosis is the information flow model, which represents the flow of diagnostic information by means of a network of logical constructs. For illustration we use the case study of an antitank missile launcher. Tables 7-1, and 2 provide test and failure mode data for the launcher system. We derived the system from an actual missile system, modifying it extensively to illustrate certain mathematical principles. As a result, although the data represent an actual problem, the system may deviate significantly from what may be encountered in a real missile system.
