SBCT Embedded Data Collection and Analysis System (SEDCAS)

Abstract : The SBCT Embedded Data Collection and Analysis System (SEDCAS) program involved the collection and analysis of individual vehicle fault indication, usage and performance data to improve the vehicle fleet sustainment and condition based maintenance of Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT) vehicles including the Stryker and HEMTT A4 platforms. The 56th SBCT of the 28th Infantry Division of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard (PAARNG) was selected as the test unit for this program. The focus of the program was to utilize existing GOTS (primary objective) and COTS (secondary objective) technologies to enable an automated health management and condition based maintenance capability for the Stryker platforms. The automated system is designed to operate with any ground vehicle that has a SAE standard digital data bus including the Stryker, HEMTT, FMTV, HET, M915 and MRAPS.
