Advanced maintenance system for aircraft and military weapons

摘要

An equipment maintenance system (10) comprises a central data storage warehouse (16) for electronically storing technical information and for providing on-line technical assistance for repairing the equipment. A data transceiver (12) transmits data to and receives data from the central data storage warehouse (16). A communications link (22, 26, 28, 30) between the central data storage warehouse (16) and the wireless data transceiver (12) enables accessing of the technical information from the central data storage warehouse (16) by the data transceiver (12). The test means identifies failed system components and minimizes occurrences of false BIT flags, unnecessary system maintenance and removal of operational system components.
