    Difficulties in FMECA Process

    Predicting possible failure modes and their

    relative probability of occurrence requires:

    detailed records for established systems

    complex modeling for new systems

    Bottom-line costs of a particular failure mode

    are difficult to asses due to:

    complex interactions between subsystems

    supply chain variables which cannot be predicted

    Maintenance of Wholly-Critical Systems

    WC systems are those in which the functional

    failure of any component results in a total

    loss of the system

    Often cost of individual components are

    vastly less than the whole system

    Most easily addressed with aggressive

    scheduled inspections and replacements

    Justifying CBM Costs on WC Platforms

    This simplification is possible by considering

    the subset of failures which cause the greatest

    loss, i.e., the whole system. For WC Platforms

    it will include nearly all failures

    US Army Aviation CBM Approach

    The cost ratio for a CM device on a US Armyhelicopter is approximately 1:200, or 0.5%

    Possible to achieve ROI by considering asset riskmitigation, i.e., crash prevention

    Perfect candidate for pre-installation CBMCIs and thresholds could be refined later

    Between 1999 present more than 700 AH-64A/D had onboard monitoring systems installed

    The next step: CI refinement

    The transmission and storage of fleet-wide datais a significant cost for centralized CBMprograms

    The benefits which can be attained from global

    Similar to data centralization and analysisefforts, CBM technology will always have
