    Abstract: An example system for determining a performance status of an environmental control system (ECS) in a vehicle includes memory and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to determine, based on one or more of the aircraft data, the weather data, or the trending data, an estimated compressor exit temperature. The processing circuitry is configured to determine a current residual compressor exit temperature based on the estimated compressor exit temperature and a current compressor exit temperature. The processing circuitry is configured to determine whether a residual condition is met based at least in part on the residual compressor exit temperature and whether a pack condition is met based at least in part on a pack temperature. The processing circuitry is configured to provide an indication of the performance status of the ECS based on at least one of the residual condition or the pack condition being met.

    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 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.
