| Description | Condition Based Maintenance Gap Analysis by Jason Lawler and Douglas Felker, US Army AMRDEC Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) has become an Army Aviation Priority. The objective of CBM is not just the insertion of prognostics on an airframe, it is also to maximize the time on wing for all components and optimize maintenance practices, as well as Operational Readiness. The current maintenance strategy involves managing components by fleet based on statistical methods and safety factors. This strategy dictates intensive scheduled maintenance, unpredictable maintenance (failures), and scheduled removals. Successful CBM implementation requires a change to this maintenance strategy. |
