Overview

The goal of this Phase I SBIR project was to more effectively apply evolving information systems technology to aircraft maintenance management. Prior to this project, much of the cost and time delays associated with aircraft maintenance were the unplanned, unscheduled aircraft maintenance tasks discovered during routine, scheduled maintenance. As the Air Force attempted to extend the life of aging aircraft more and more, this problem will become more critical. Improved technical approaches to planning, managing, and controlling these unplanned, unscheduled maintenance activities will enable better defense readiness, contained costs, and higher quality maintenance.
