Application of Trend Analysis Methodologies on Built-in-Test (BIT) (and non-BIT) Systems in a Operational U.S. Navy Fighter/Attack Squadron

This paper will outline the process and ‘real-world' experience of applying trending techniques to supporting a highly complicated system within a high pressure environment with an extremely low tolerance for errors by improving the corrective and preventative maintenance cycles. The paper will also discuss some of the key benefits realized and challenges encountered in implementing this.
