Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com ADS-79D-HDBK system and provide data back to the maintainer and engineering community to develop prognostic algorithms. For example, assume a radio is being continuously monitored in flight. That CBIT data should be collected across the fleet for engineering analysis. Based upon the fleet data, components exhibiting a high intermittent failure rate in flight can be tracked. By capturing the data, engineering analysis could build CIs for the radio predicting failure based upon the CBIT failure trends in flight. The collection of CBIT data will also allow for the correlation of the failure responses with in flight conditions and usage.
By collecting the data through the HUMS system it should be possible to correlate usage data with the CBIT data. By trending the information, it may be possible to identify degrading parts as they fail. 143
