Abstract:
1. A system for monitoring a vehicle having systems, components, and sensors comprising: a nominal controller; an adaptive controller; a vehicle health function module coupled to sensors on the vehicle and to an output of the adaptive controller, wherein the sensors provide current operating conditions of at least one of the systems or components of the vehicle and the output of the adaptive controller indicating current derivations form predefined operating parameters of at least one of the systems or components of the vehicle, the vehicle health function module generating a real time vehicle health output signal indicating current operational longevity of at least one of the systems or components of the vehicle; and a mission planning module coupled to the vehicle health function module to determine a capability of the vehicle to complete an assigned task based on the real time vehicle health output signal generated by the vehicle health function module and configured to allocate resources on a proactive basis based on the real time vehicle health output signal indicating current operational longevity of at least one of the systems or components of the vehicle and on a reactive basis based on the current operating conditions to complete the assigned task.
