CEPS (CITS - Central Integrated Test System-Expert Parameter System) is a large scale application of an expert system to improve the diagnostics of a major weapon system, the B-1B strategic aircraft. CEPS consists of a Knowledge Base, a commercial shell for inferencing, a Data Base, and interfaces with several Air Force Systems. A key part of CEPS is the interface between the expert system, the user interface, and the relational database. Phase II is currently in progress which is to develop a prototype for evaluation at Dyess Air Force Base system in Abilene, Texas. The value of the CEPS expert system is to reduce fault isolation ambiguities, RTOKs (re-test okays) CNDs (can not duplicates), FA (false alarms), and RRWUs (repeat/recurring write-ups). These reductions will increase B-1B sustainability and, hence, operational availability. Evaluation will involve B-1B post flight malfunction indication data, post flight crew debriefings, and USAF (United States Air Force) maintenance personnel interaction with CEPS. Phase III will consist of the complete production and implementation of CEPS.
