Noregon Systems, Winston-Salem, N.C., has delivered a vehicle maintenance software application that predicts and speeds needed repairs of tactical military vehicles.

Used in conjunction with military laptop computers, the software is part of an on-going program that Noregon is executing for the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM).
Bill Van Horn, vice president of Noregon Systems, said, "Our software, in combination with the military’s hardware, gives vehicle technicians a reliable prognostic and diagnostic tool to identify needed repairs before a vehicle is sent into action and/or find and fix existing problems faster. In addition, this software has the ability to take a snapshot of total vehicle status at the occurrence of any anomaly on the vehicle."
The new software features include:
-- A graphical display of vehicle information using gauges, voltage meters and thermometers
-- An easy-to-use strip chart format with both real-time data and data recordings
-- Wireless data transfer capability to send playback logs and data collected with active faults/vehicle systems to another PC (server). The data transfer capability will utilize standard (COTS) wireless LAN technology and has the capability to monitor total vehicle health and status
--Received faults and associated vehicle data that can be parsed into a database for later analysis
The software also interfaces with third-party diagnostic applications found in engines, transmissions, ABS and Central Tire Inflation Systems. The software is SAEJ1587/J1939 and RP1210A compliant.
