Web-based Application for Aircraft Component Fatigue Life Management

Navy aircraft data are stored in several database management systems, both in digital format (data recorders and sensors) and paper records. Additionally, with respect to life management and maintenance, and repair and overhaul (MRO) activities. This approach results in multiplicity of data, some contradictory data, and incomplete data. An efficient Web-Based platform is needed with a reasoning engine that interfaces with aircraft and external data systems, provides current diagnostic state of the aircraft and is able to make component life predictions.Over the last 15 years, TDA developed an expertise in fleet tracking and fatigue life monitoring to implement state-of-the-art algorithm for computation of parameters that properly describe the usage and health status of each single component for both fixed and rotor wing aircraft. TDA will leverage this experience and the ACTS (Aircraft Component Tracking System) platform currently deployed for the H-60 to provide a solution in the Big Data framework that will enable US Navy personnel to efficiently, securely and almost in real-time access the tracking information about the status of their rotorcraft fleet. The platform will be designed to be resilient to both data and processing faults, easily scalable and based on modular, user-friendly, highly-customizable applications.
