MERC has implemented condition-based maintenance plus (CBM+) on DoD aircraft for over 15 years. This prognostic and diagnostic maintenance strategy that monitors the actual condition of the aircraft to decide what maintenance needs to be done has improved both safety and aircraft uptime across multiple aircraft fleets. Our CBM+ initiatives range from design and implementation of health and usage monitoring systems (HUMS) on helicopters to the development of monthly reliability report tools that track fleet health indicators using state-of- the-art database visualization tools.
