Description
The Rubicon (Reasoning Based on Intelligent Computing and Networking) project attempts to do this by providing a vehicle for practical introduction of advanced diagnostic software into an operational environment. Rubicon takes the form of a workstation-based software system giving the engineer access to an array of vehicle health management software and data analysis tools. Rubicon includes graphical user interfaces and controls for advisory system operation and a set of utilities for real time data analysis and display. The engineer can conveniently access a powerful set of fault analysis tools at a single location.
Rubicon is being developed by NASA / TV-GDS and Rockwell / Launch Support Services at KSC. It is a step toward operational vehicle health management. Rubicon demonstrates several important points. It shows that multiple advisory systems can run cooperatively on a single workstation. Also, common functions supplied by Rubicon can preclude the need for their redevelopment for future advisory systems. Finally it is possible to automate data analysis tasks that are now performed manually. When completed it will serve as a new data resource for the firing room engineer.
