1. A system for diagnosis and prognosis of a component, comprising:
- a diagnosis module, the diagnosis module being configured to;
receive a signal from a component, the signal being representative of a current state observation of the component;
compute a present state of the component based on the signal; and
a prognosis module, the prognosis module being configured to compute a likelihood of a future state of the component for a given future mission, whereby through diagnosis, a user can determine the present state of the component, and based on the present state and future mission, determine the likelihood of the future state in the future mission.

Abstract
Described is a system for diagnosis and prognosis of a component. The system is configured to receive a signal from a component. The signal is representative of a current health observation of the component. The system also computes a present likelihood of the component failure based on the signal. Additionally, the system computes a future likelihood of failure of the component for a given future mission. Through diagnosis, a user can determine the present health of the component, and based on the present health and future mission, determine whether or not the component will fail in the future mission.

11. A method for diagnosis and prognosis of a component, comprising acts of:
-
defining a usage variable for a component, the usage variable being a variable that is indicative of usage of the component; defining a future mission in terms of future usage of the component in completing the future mission, as applied to the usage variable; defining present health observations, the present health observations being indicative of a present health state of the component; defining future health observations by trending the present health observations up to the future usage; and utilizing a Bayesian Network model to determine the likelihood of failure for the component at the end of the future mission from the present health observations and the future health observations.

22. A computer program product for diagnosis and prognosis, the computer program product comprising computer-readable instruction means encoded on a computer-readable medium that are executable by a computer for causing the computer to:
-
receive a signal from a component, the signal being representative of a current state observation of the component; compute a present state of the component based on the signal; and compute a likelihood of a future state of the component for a given future mission, whereby through diagnosis, a user can determine the present state of the component, and based on the present state and future mission, determine the likelihood of the future state in the future mission. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
