ABSTRACT

With the rapid advancement of science and technology, the integration, complexity, and intelligence of weapons and equipment have significantly increased. Traditional fault diagnosis and maintenance support technologies are becoming increasingly inadequate in meeting emerging requirements. To address the demands of information warfare for rapid, reliable, and accurate operation of military systems, Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) technology has progressively evolved. PHM represents an innovative approach to health condition management, developed by leveraging the latest advancements in modern information and artificial intelligence technologies. It constitutes a systems engineering discipline derived from practical engineering applications, continuously refined into systematic and structured methodologies focused on monitoring, predicting, and managing the health status of complex engineering systems. Today, PHM technology is receiving widespread attention globally and is considered a core enabler in the development of next-generation weapons systems and the realization of autonomous logistics support. This article provides an overview of the current applications of PHM technology, aiming to serve as a reference for its implementation in equipment management.
