USAF Maintenance Today Is Reactive

Broken Aircraft…Now Fix It

“Fly to Failure” results in REACTIVE Maintenance!

USAF Mx is Reactionary and Disconnected...Placing Risk on the Mission!

Today’s Toolbox built forTime-Based, Stagnant

Inspections

NEED TROUBLESHOOTING SUPPORT?Separate request must be issued

Today’s Data Capture Manual & Delayed

Manual entry after long work shifts = data integrity issues

NEED ENGINEERING SUPPORT?Another separaterequest must be made and wait until it’s processed

NEED A PART?Separate request and process and another waiting period...PLUSdiminishing supply and obselence issues

Goal: Develop prognostic algorithms for problematic components using existing sources & hardware

C-5M PlatformØ Thrust ReverserØ Engine Bleed Air System (EBAS)

Ø Pressure Regulator and Shut-Off Valves (PRSOV)

Ø High Pressure Shut-Off Valves (HPSOV)

B-1B PlatformØ Environmental Control System (ECS)

Ø Precooler BlowerØ Brake Temperature Sensor ValidationØ Hydraulic System Sensor ValidationØ Fuel Migration

CBM+ Tools & Tool Kit DevelopmentIssue: Today, SPOs have little or OEM-controlled access to their on-board flight data and have limited fleet trending capabilities.

Solution: Giving SPOs the organic ability to trend & analyze on-board diagnostic data – faster and easier!ü Enables organic capability to extract, store

and trend on-board data (reduces dependencies on OEMs)

ü Complete history by tail #, fed from field Mxü Improves response time to 107s/202sü Supports model- and usage-based

algorithms ü Enables TRUE life cycle management

Data Integrity ImprovementIssue: Current Data Integrity processes are time consuming and output still contains many errors

Solution: Next Gen Auto-DIT



7

Data Integrity ImprovementIssue: Current TO tools lack interactivity, are manpower intensive, and do not direct input into authoritative data systems

Solution: Maintenance Digital Data Viewer (MDDV)
