Prognostic Monitoring and Condition Reporting for Remote Multi-Mission Vehicle (RMMV) Subsystems Navy SBIR FY2015.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2015.1 Topic No.: N151-056 Topic Title: Prognostic Monitoring and Condition Reporting for Remote Multi-Mission Vehicle (RMMV) Subsystems Proposal No.: N151-056-0136 Firm: ASSETT, Incorporated 11220 ASSETT Loop Suite 301 Manassas, Virginia 20109 Contact: Randy Lee Phone: (703) 881-3539 Abstract: According to a report on Navy Programs published in January of 2014, "data from the recent developmental testing suggest that reliability may not have improved sufficiently to enable a Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) with two Remote Multi-Mission Vehicles (RMMVs) onboard to complete the desired area search without having to return to port more often than currently planned and desired to obtain replacements." An accurate assessment of achieved RMMV reliability cannot be made until the RMS is tested under operationally realistic end-to-end minehunting missions." The accurate assessment of achieved reliability is dependent upon an understanding of the causes of component failures within the RMMV. This SBIR addresses the problem of accurate assessment by developing a Prognostic Monitoring and Condition Reporting System that uses existing or new sensors, prognostic software, and Condition Base Maintenance Plus (CBM+) techniques. Benefits: The results of this research will help an operator optimize performance by providing recommended replacement criteria based on historical data and current operating conditions, improved cognition and situational awareness, and scheduling of prognostic-driven activities to minimize or eliminate future failures. Potential commercial applications are manned and unmanned submersible vehicles including those used for transportation, oil and gas, research, mapping, rescue, and disaster recovery. Return
