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.
