The Role of Reliability Data Bases in Deploying CBM+, RCM and PHM with TLCSM

Abstract

The total life cycle systems management [TLCSM] imperative for military systems holds the program manager accountable for “total system performance (hardware, software, and human), operational effectiveness, and suitability, survivability, safety, and affordability”. Condition Based Maintenance Plus [CBM+], Reliability Centered Maintenance [RCM] and prognostic health management [PHM] for critical subsystems, such as propulsion, are considered essential program elements in meeting this responsibility for total life cycle sustainability.
