The mature research developed under PULP will provide NASA with the ability to accurately predict Remaining Useful Life (RUL). PULP will provide analysts the ability to easily integrate model-based and method-based approaches in their predictions, taking full advantage of available data and leveraging the strengths of both approaches. Primary NASA commercial candidates include many projects led by the Prognostics Center of Excellence in support of potential NASA systems health management work. Other applications cited by NASA's Discovery and Systems Health (DaSH) may also become candidates as this technology matures.
We expect the full-scope PULP framework to have immediate and tangible benefits for a number of military prognostic and health-monitoring applications. PULP technologies will enable more accurate Remaining Useful Life (RUL) prediction during maintenance operations by using a hybrid approach to RUL prediction and increasing the efficiency of analysts performing RUL computations. We envision a number of commercial applications, particularly in the aerospace, aviation, and transport industries. We also plan to incorporate new PULP technology into our Figaro probabilistic modeling and analysis framework, which will enable us to use the tool to provide consulting services based on Figaro to customers within NASA, the DoD, other Government agencies, and commercial markets. Technology developed under the PULP effort will enhance Figaro's dynamic reasoning and integration capabilities.
