Abstract :
Modern aircraft benefit from having health management functions integrated with other onboard and offboard systems. Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) systems provide a reduction in the amount of data traffic required between systems, more accurate diagnostic capability, addition of a prognostic capability, and lower support costs. A flexible and extensible architecture that directly supports the implementation of IVHM systems is presented. This architecture embodies industry standardization concepts, and has been used as a flexible demonstration platform for several IVHM applications
