    Abstract: A vehicle management system includes an onboard vehicle system and a ground system. The onboard vehicle system includes a compressor exit temperature sensor configured to determine an ECS compressor exit temperature; a data acquisition unit coupled to receive the compressor exit temperature, an altitude of the first vehicle, and an ambient temperature and configured to generate a data report; and a communications system coupled to receive and transmit the data report. The ground system includes a ground data server coupled to receive the data report and determine a fouling condition of an environmental conditioning element of the ECS based on at least the compressor exit temperature, the altitude, and the ambient temperature; and a mobile application module coupled to receive the fouling condition from the ground data server and configured to provide an interface for displaying the fouling condition to a user on a mobile device.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented system for detecting shifts in data is provided. The system is configured to: calculate, based on the value of a plurality of user-selectable baseline configuration parameters, baseline values for a series of data items in a data structure, wherein the baseline values include an average value and a standard deviation value; calculate, based on the value of a plurality of user-selectable weighted threshold parameters, a weighted threshold level for the series of data items; detect, based on the value of a plurality of user-selectable shift detection parameters, a shift in the series of data items, wherein the shift comprises an abrupt shift, a rapid drift, or a gradual drift; convert, based on the value of a plurality of user-selectable normalization parameters, the value of each data item in the series of data items to a normalized value; and determine whether the normalized values indicate a data shift.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for isolating a performance anomaly within one or more line replaceable units (LRUs) on a gas turbine engine by monitoring the start up transient are presented. The system comprises a set of sensors, an anomaly detector and a fault isolation reasoner. Each sensor of the set monitors at least one operating parameter of at least one engine component. The anomaly detector is configured to detect an anomaly in a component by comparing a particular value of an operating parameter to a base line value of that parameter. The specific cause of the startup anomaly is isolated utilizing a set of component reasoners that is based on the nature of the detected anomaly. The key events during the engine startup are identified by the combination of monitoring physically relevant phases of a startup and monitoring the engine control schedule. The values at these key events are used for comparing at the anomaly detector.

    Abstract: A method of calibrating a radar-based vibration sensor that includes a radar head coupled to a vibration device includes disposing the vibration sensor at a fixed distance from a target, and transmitting radio frequency (RF) signals toward, and receiving RF signals reflected by, the target. An excitation voltage is supplied, at a plurality of different excitation frequencies, to the vibration device to cause the vibration sensor to vibrate. Vibration sensor acceleration is determined at each of the different excitation frequencies. A calibration curve is generated based on the determined vibration sensor acceleration at each of the different excitation frequencies, and on the reflected RF signals at each of the different excitation frequencies.
