Abstract

TED (Turbine Engine Diagnostics) is a diagnostic expert system to aid an M1 Abrams tank mechanic in finding and fixing problems in an AGT-1500 turbine engine. TED was designed to provide apprentice mechanics with the ability to diagnose and repair a turbine engine like an expert mechanic. This paper discusses the reasoning method used in TED, called the Procedural Reasoning System (PRS), as well as various design considerations throughout the life of the project. The expert system was designed and built by the US Army Research Laboratory and the US Army Ordnance Center. TED has been fielded to both the active Army and the National Guard.
