Abstract :
This paper reports work being done by Qualtech Systems, Inc. (QSI) and Sikorsky Aircraft towards developing an integrated solution for onboard and ground based health management and condition-based maintenance of the Navy and Army helicopters as part of the JAHUMS-ACTD program (Joint advanced health and usage monitoring system-advanced concept technology demonstration). The solution builds upon QSI´s system modeling and integrated diagnostics tools and Sikorsky aircraft´s integrated electronic technical manual (IETM) software, and involves several key innovations. The solution will be integrated with the Navy´s integrated mechanical diagnostics health and usage monitoring system (IMD-HUMS). We present the overall architecture and the data-management process of the integrated onboard and ground-support system for the IMD-HUMS, and comment on its potential for achieving the goals of the HUMS technology
