NPAS is a sophisticated platform for autonomous systems that understands the behavior of
complex systems, can detect and identify anomalies, and can apply sound strategies based on the current state
of the system to mitigate issues and optimize performance.
NPAS Toolkit
The NPAS toolkit enables the rapid creation of robust autonomous systems for applications such as
Integrated Systems Health Management (ISHM) including prognosis and diagnosis
Monitoring and control of equipment like computing, hydraulic, mechanical and electrical
Monitoring and control of sensors
Monitoring and control of entire systems, like electrical and flow systems
Failure mode effects analysis
ASL demonstrated NPAS' distributed, hierarchical autonomous systems capabilities at the integrated, power, avionics and software (iPAS) lab at JSC
