【 摘 要 】

The CIF (Center Innovation Fund) Program provided support to advance the autonomous operation technology that was at a low TRL (Technological Readiness Level) scale to push the technology to a higher TRL where then other programs could sponsor further advances and infusion of the capability into other projects. This is the case with NPAS (NASA Platform for Autonomous Systems). Autonomy capability encompasses technologies that enable a system to function independent from operators, except for times of low frequency high level interactions. With this degree of autonomy, the system has to be able to determine its condition (Integrated System Health Management - ISHM), and apply autonomy strategies that permit progression towards achieving a mission, in spite of anomalies or external unforeseen disturbances.
