    Abstract: Distributed monitoring systems and data synchronization methods are provided for monitoring a vehicle, such as a rotorcraft. One exemplary method involves a mobile device broadcasting measurement synchronization messages corresponding to a measurement window to measurement units onboard the vehicle over a wireless network, obtaining synchronization timestamp data corresponding to the measurement synchronization messages from each of the measurement units, obtaining measurement data obtained during the measurement window from the measurement units, and associating samples of measurement data from a first measurement unit with one or more samples of measurement data from a second measurement unit based on the synchronization timestamp data. In this manner, measurement data samples from different measurement units having different clock frequencies operating independently or asynchronously with respect to one another may be retrospectively synchronized before characterizing a condition of the vehicle based at least in part on the temporally associated measurement data samples.

    Abstract: Distributed monitoring systems and methods are provided for monitoring a vehicle, such as a rotorcraft. One exemplary system includes a plurality of sensor management modules onboard the vehicle and coupled to respective sensing arrangements mounted onboard the vehicle to provide measurement data corresponding to a respective mechanical component. A mobile device is communicatively coupled to the management modules over a wireless network associated with the vehicle. The mobile device configures the management modules for sampling their sensing arrangements, receives the measurement data obtained in accordance with the configuration information from the management modules, determines the condition of the respective mechanical components based on the corresponding measurement data, and displays a graphical representation of the condition of the respective mechanical component.
