Health Assessment - The Prognostics Framework generates outputs alerting detection of an existing fault or the onset of a fault. It identifies the criticality of the fault to the operation of the subsystem to which it is attributable to. It provides the timeframe when the fault is predicted to occur and a confidence level of the assessment. It isolates the fault to the lowest level possible based on the information it has received. It can output the quantitative symptoms, or evidence data, indicating the fault, plotted over time on a graph. It provides a description of the fault, and identifies immediate actions that the operator should take in response to the fault. 

Mission Readiness - The Prognostics Framework assesses the ability of the system to perform a mission over the time intervals that represent the mission profile. It correlates the current and anticipated health of the system to the functions required within the specific mission profile. This information is the key to enabling commanders, operators and maintainers to make informed decisions. This capability can be applied at any level of indenture, including fleets of different types of systems and equipment. It enhances overall system availability by assessing which items are best suited for specific missions, based on their health, and therefore, their ability to perform through the duration of that mission.

Maintenance Requirements - The information framework includes repair item data and repair action data that enable integration of maintenance / logistics data directly within the model, and/or links to other systems, such as parts ordering/supply systems and interactive electronic technical manuals.
