Abstract :
A standard for US Air Force engine diagnostics and trending has been developed and fielded. The Comprehensive Engine Management System increment IV (CEMS IV) will be enhanced and fielded under the functional umbrella of the Core Automated Maintenance System. The methodology by which CEMS IV supports the philosophy of on-condition maintenance is discussed. The operational implementation of portable decision support tools within the CEMS IV network is highlighted. Necessary development steps are presented for the successful implementation of CEMS IV across all jet engines in the US Air Force inventory
