Abstract
A prognostic failure detection system may be implemented for an unmanned aerial vehicle(s) (UAV). A prognostic failure detection system may include a process of predicting failure conditions that may affect an UAV physical system or structure before they occur. By predicting failure conditions before they occur, the prognostic system allows maintenance centers to perform corrective actions in a timely and cost-effective manner. The prognostic system is intended to monitor and support the functionality of several physical systems and physical structures associated with an UAV. A physical system includes, but is not limited to, the electrical system, power system including the power supply, motor and propeller assemblies including motor controllers, navigation system, and flight controller system.
