Abstract
The diagnostic measurements and accuracy goals required for an operational HEL test system must be derived from top level objectives. In contrast, prediction of system measurement uncertainty must be based on a bottoms-up assessment of state-of-the-art instrumentation capability. In this paper we present a methodology that can be used to define and evaluate an integrated diagnostic system for any HEL test system. Using this methodology we define and evaluate a specific diagnostic system for an example laser test system.
