With complete observability of all onboard data, operators and maintainers gain insights that enable real-time decision-making and improve the readiness, lethality, and survivability of their most critical, expensive, and long-lasting assets. Democratizing the enormous volumes of serial bus data generated by these platforms can enable faster, more precise maintenance outcomes, but existing solutions don’t provide a full sight picture.
SOLUTION BRIEF
ENABLING PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE FOR THE DOD

Foresight. Not hindsight.
Although the DoD spends nearly $90BN a year on weapon system maintenance, the availability of these systems is not where it needs to be.
A 2022 GAO report examined 49 aircraft and found that only four met their annual mission capable goal in a majority of the years from fiscal years 2011 through 2021, and 26 of those aircraft did not meet their annual mission capable goal in any fiscal year. Additionally, a recent survey on predictive maintenance implementation in the U.S. military found that:
73% of DoD leaders
say they’ve piloted at least one predictive maintenance application, but less than half (48%) feel “well prepared” to develop a comprehensive implementation plan, per the December 2022 GAO recommendation.*
