Description

MSI has over twenty years experience in design and delivery of crash-hardened health monitoring systems (HMS) for DoD agencies. MSI proposes to produce cybersecure HMS for real time collection and processing of data with cybersecure offload capable of receiving inputs in various data formats from onboard sensors for processing and/or storage on removable or uploadable media for future analysis. The HMS prototype developed in Phase I shall have recording, diagnostic, and prognostic system capability on a shore station PC where the data will be used to identify maintenance/repair issues as well as provide post-mission forensic analysis and playback of maintenance and operational data in order to understand all aspects of the craft and human environment during the course of a mission. The HMS shore station PC will provide a causal inference application to assist in identifying root cause of minor, significant, and catastrophic craft, systems, and component failures. MSIs cognitive information exploitation application and crash hardened data collection system, developed in previous SBIR efforts, will be extended to perform characterization of group-wide maintenance and repair issues that will provide potentially significant savings by forecasting system degradation especially in critical operating environments.
