Advanced Diagnostics and Prognostics Testbed (ADAPT)

The Advanced Diagnostics and Prognostics Testbed (ADAPT) is a facility developed at NASA Ames for supporting the development of diagnostic and prognostic models, for evaluating advanced warning systems and for testing diagnostic tools and algorithms against a standardized testbed. The facility's hardware consists of an electrical power system with components for power generation, storage, and distribution. Over a hundred sensors report the status of the system to the test article that monitors the health status of the system. The testbed provides a controlled environment to inject failures, either through software or hardware, in a repeatable manner.
