Optimizing Maintenance For Turbine Engines

摘要

For years, the defense and military communities have been faced with increasing pressure to incorporate advanced Prognostic Health Management (PHM) solutions into high-value turbine jet engines. Beginning around 1994 and coinciding with the launch of the Joint Strike Fighter program, interest in PHM development has escalated rapidly within the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force as a targeted, critical technology for improving the affordability of advanced aircraft systems through reduced maintenance costs and improved useful-life survivability.
