Centralized Automated Fault Monitoring

The Fathom 5 / Fairbanks Morse Defense (FMD) team propose a centralized fault monitoring system design that expands upon the existing capabilities of two technologies: FM OnBoard and eRM 4.0. FM OnBoard is a digital platform designed by FMD that provides data ingest and aggregation, dashboards visualizing current operating statues, and Machine Learning (ML)-based algorithms to generate insights into current and future asset condition. eRM 4.0 is a secure analytics hosting environment developed by Fathom5 that is the USN’s current Program of Record (PoR) for Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) and has already been approved and published to USN ships. We propose modifying the FM OnBoard software to provide the additional capabilities needed for a centralized autonomous fault reporting system and hosting the modified software in the eRM 4.0 environment. Because it builds upon previously developed capabilities and integrates with existing USN infrastructure and program pathways for HM&E systems software, this approach enormously reduces the complexity and risk of building a centralized autonomous reporting system and paves a clear path for deployment abord USN vessels as part of an existing program of record.
