Summary:This paper presents how the industry, universities, and government
agencies are working to develop in-situ wiring sensor systems to detect,
diagnose, predict and prevent wiring related problems in aerospace
vehicles. The authors begin with a brief introduction to wiring related
problems and the safety and economic impacts caused by deterioration and
abuse. Next, the authors present how the Navy is funding development of
"smart" wiring systems such as arc fault detecting circuit breakers,
wiring harnesses and connectors. The paper presents how smart wiring
incorporates real time signal processing, rule based reasoning and
microsystems and sensor technologies to form an early warning system
using web-based information technologies. Next the paper present plans
to install and test smart wiring in new and legacy aircraft. The paper
concludes with a discussion of how smart wiring has a far reaching
impact in aerospace systems through application in prognostic health
management of engines, avionics, and control systems attached to smart
wiring
