Computerized diagnostic analyzer for SSBN 726 class Low Voltage DC Weapon Power System.

Abstract

A need exists for a new test procedure for the Low Voltage DC (LVDC) Weapons Power System used to provide 28 volt DC power to various portions of the Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) Weapons System found on Ohio Class Submarines. The present test procedure does not provide sufficient information to assure that the system will function with the required reliability. This project involved the design and implementation of a test system which would perform the following functions: 1) accurately monitor the performance of the 28 volt LVDC rectifiers in the FBM Weapons System, 2) indicate when a system failure has occurred, 3) provide information to assist in trouble shooting, 4) provide facilities for database storage and analysis. This system is portable, user friendly, and compatible with current test requirements.
