The Air Force is developing a wide variety of technologies for aircraft propulsion system health management (PHM). Unfortunately, many promising new sensor technologies and new algorithms cannot easily be deployed for on-wing demonstration particularly for UAV health monitoring and control applications. We are developing a generic hardware and software system to support the creation and fielding of low cost, integrated engine PHM/control systems. This system is based on an AMD Geode processor, a Xilinx Virtex-II Pro FPGA and the VxWorks/spl trade/ real-time operating system. The MathWorks Simulink/spl trade/ and Xilinx System Generator/spl trade/ are used for algorithm development and validation of the integrated system operation. This system will also facilitate integration of third party PHM algorithms. Presented here is a description of the hardware and software platform being developed to host the PHM/control system and its application to the AIIDED UAV demonstrator.
