In order to speed up the localization process of China′s core electronic devices, it is necessary to verify and evaluate the advancement and reliability of domestic core electronic devices to promote the engineering application of domestic core electronic devices in electronic information equipments. Firstly, the key technical requirements for on-line monitoring and health management of airborne infrared detectors are analyzed, and the sensitive parameters and failure modes of domestic infrared detectors are sorted out. Finally, the on-line monitoring and health management of airborne infrared detectors is determined. The future development trend of on-board monitoring and health management system for airborne equipment is prospected. Through the combing of the key technologies for current on-line monitoring and health management of airborne infrared detectors, it paves the way for the design and development of on-line monitoring and health management systems for airborne infrared detectors.
