Study Tasking Task 1: • Study Development • define the specifics of the study with the government ISHM IPT, • assemble the collaborative ISHM team that will execute the study under the leadership of the Wright Brothers Institute, • define the needed effort for Tasks 2 and 3, and • identify the government and industry resources required to execute the study. Task 2: • Define the potential impact of an optimized Integrated Health Management System on the design of Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs). • Assuming an ideal health management capability, • which would include available sensors with required performance, durability and reliability, the Wright Brothers Institute and the collaborative ISHM team shall: • perform a business case analysis to examine • the monetary trades, system performance, mission availability, and procurement size impact for a new acquisition • if the design accounted for the benefits of health monitoring and management.
Questions to be answered • What are the key features of the ideal ISHM capability? • Know everything about everything? • Discrete versus continuum sensing • What it means versus what it is • Know it now not after • Know what to do about it? • Intelligent decision making • Learning systems • What technologies are required to achieve the ideal ISHM capability? • Bandwidth • Processing power • Sensors • Integrated • Where do we start if our goal is the ideal system? • Building block approach?
Would ISHM Impact the Following? Structural Design • Current Structural Design Philosophy • Reduce FOS? • Lighter Design? • New Structural Design Philosophy • Enable Reliability-based (Probabilistic) Design Approach? • Reduce reliance on structural redundancy for fail-safety, reduces weight and cost? • Structural/Materials Certification Process • Reduce Certification Time? • New Structural Maintenance Procedure • Enable Condition-Based Maintenance? Full-Scale Structural Fatigue Test Structural Inspection
Study Overview • Define and document • The potential impact of an optimized Integrated Health Management System on • Design of Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) • Design of Space Operating Vehicles (SOVs) • The technology issues and shortfalls that would need to be addressed to achieve that impact • Critical technologies that have the potential to address those shortfalls • A business case analysis that provides rationale for: • Designing for/with ISHM • Prioritization of technical shortfalls • Pursuing specific critical technologies • The preferred programmatic approach to pursuing those technologies • Collaborative Approaches (Consortia, Collaborative Programs) • Suite of Conventional CRAD Programs • Challenge is Balance between Program/Initiative building and Technical/Business Assessment
Discussion Focus • What do you think of the intent of the study? • Is the idea of an integrated program to address ISHM in the broadest possible terms a good/reasonable idea? • Do you believe you/your company would be willing/able to participate as part of a study team? • Task 2 & 3 (UAV/SOV impacts & business case development)? • Full participant, provide input & feedback, individual contributor observe and comment only, not available • Assuming the study successfully demonstrates the value of the approach, what kind of approach for for an integrated ISHM program • Interconnected individual contracted efforts • Informal consortium (Composites Affordability Initiative) • Independent individual efforts under “panel” oversight (MAI) • No new structure or inter-relatedness • What do you think should be the next steps… if any?
Groundrules • Primary target • Airframe structure • UAV Propulsion • Other opportunities • Primary emphasis • potential benefits of ISHM influenced design • How can you change the design? • Is it worth the investment? AFRL? Industry? • What are the barriers that need to be addressed • Cultural? Business Metrics? Internal Corporate Systems? • Technical Metrics, Certification • Critical Technologies? • Unique Perspectives? • Initial planning • Phase I - 6 mo. (1/2 hd. in kind) • Phase II? - resources TBD from Phase I
