Abstract: Technical Data Analysis, Inc. (TDA) envisions one comprehensive, integrated dynamic component tracking system complementing the United States Navy's CBM efforts for optimum fleet management to assure rotorcraft safety. This vision brings together widely differing aircraft platform data and tracking/lifing methods under one open architecture framework to provide near real-time component health and fatigue life expended (FLE) values. The fleet management tool envisioned in this framework will help the USN develop safety strategies through asset management via prognostics and trending, scheduling fleet maintenance actions, and future acquisitions.
Benefits: As shown in this proposal tremendous cost savings can be achieved by developing an integrated rotary wing dynamic component tracking system for optimal fleet management while also increasing safety of flight. This system has the potential to be utilized by all branches of the military, commercial and general aviation communities.
