Abstract

The embedded Fault Isolation functionality in the Saab JAS39 Gripen aircraft has been designed to accurately and reliably provide the technician with proposed maintenance procedures. A previously identified drawback and built in limitation has been the significant lead time for Fault Isolation functional changes based on aircraft operational statistics and line experience. With the Fault Isolation executing as compiled source code, changes and corrections require adaptation of the regular onboard systems computer software and careful planning of code and documentation releases, implying not only significant delays, but also high costs for necessary updates. The "Sandra" project aims at even further refine - and to introduce a state of the art - fault isolation maintenance concept for the Saab JAS39 Gripen aircraft. Based on an easy-to-use PC based graphical tool, Fault Isolation on dedicated aircraft monitoring and safety check result data is specified. Output in the form of design documentation artifacts, such as flowcharts and technical publications, is generated. The contained Fault Isolation object data is updated in parallel with the regular onboard computer software development process and the corresponding Loadable Data File will be delivered when convenient. The PC application constitutes the maintenance engineer's primary Fault Isolation design tool. The tool enables the maintenance engineer to select dedicated settings via a graphical user interface and use logical expressions to propose detailed and specific maintenance actions to be performed by the aircraft technician. The tool is capable of verifying a complete set of design documents towards the content of a generated loadable file. Thus, a generated output file with a minimum of additional verification can be delivered to be loaded into the aircraft. This new approach implies that the lead time for a Fault Isolation functional change can be reduced by as much as 80 %. The cost for the corresponding functional change will decrease by more than 50 %.
飞机系统故障隔离管理的新概念
萨博JAS39“鹰狮”战斗机的嵌入式故障隔离功能旨在准确可靠地为技术人员提供拟议的维护程序。先前发现的缺点和内置限制是,基于飞机运行统计数据和线路经验的故障隔离功能更改需要大量的前置时间。由于故障隔离作为编译的源代码执行,更改和更正需要适应常规的机载系统计算机软件,并仔细规划代码和文档发布,这不仅意味着重大延迟,而且必要的更新成本也很高。“桑德拉”项目旨在进一步完善-并为萨博JAS39“鹰狮”飞机引入最先进的故障隔离维护概念。基于易于使用的PC图形化工具,对专用飞机监控和安全检查结果数据进行故障隔离。生成设计文档工件形式的输出,例如流程图和技术出版物。所包含的故障隔离对象数据与常规板载计算机软件开发过程并行更新,并在方便时提供相应的可加载数据文件。PC应用程序构成了维护工程师的主要故障隔离设计工具。该工具使维修工程师能够通过图形用户界面选择专用设置,并使用逻辑表达式提出飞机技术人员要执行的详细和具体的维修操作。该工具能够根据生成的可加载文件的内容验证一组完整的设计文档。这样,生成的输出文件就可以通过最少的附加验证被加载到飞机中。这种新方法意味着故障隔离功能更改的前置时间可以减少多达80%。相应功能变更的成本将降低50%以上。
