F101 Central Integrated Test Subsystem Evaluation

摘要

Existing B-1/F101 flight data were used to determine the technical application and results of the diagnostic and monitoring systems utilized in the CITS. Contractor's analyses performed in support of the B-1 program provide the starting point for this program. The CITS functions investigated were (1) fault detection and isolation, (2) flight readiness status, (3) LCF and time at temperature counting, and (4) trend data acquisition. The data evaluation had four objectives: (1) Determine how well the B-1/F101 diagnostic and monitoring requirements/goals were met; (2) establish the rates of false indication; (3) categorize the maintenance actions taken on the basis of CITS inputs; and (4) determine the effectiveness of the trending program. In addition, the effectiveness of the F101 CITS parameter and data sampling rates was determined. Continuous recorded CITS data were used to evaluate usage tracking parameters and their effectiveness in determining maintenance actions. (Author)
