The University of South Carolina (USC) has supported the U.S. Army by conducting research to support a timely and cost effective aircraft maintenance program. Research emphasis has been to collect and warehouse data, and formulate requirements for a move toward Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) for the U.S. Armed Forces.
A critical pre-requisite of CBM is to have a well established baseline of historical data by which to measure and compare performance, usage, wear and failure of helicopter performance. Our data on logistics, usage, maintenance, supply, mission, and training procedure provides a valuable building block in creating a baseline for CBM. This information is historical, accessible, and compatible with various electronic formats. More... |
