Abstract
In this paper a research on the practical application of prognostic enhancements of health and usage monitoring systems is presented. By combining prognostic theories for improving the predictability of lead time intervals to maintenance inspections, it is demonstrated that a practical application can be realized. This research is performed on the health and usage monitoring system of the NH-90 helicopter, MDS. By focusing on failure modes of components, the prognostic methodology enables relating specific component usage to remaining useful life predictions. This is performed for three case studies to determine improvements on their predictability for lead time’s intervals. With these results a comparison is made to the current component’s maintenance strategy. It is seen that an improvement in predictability was realized.
