Maintenance Systems (MxS)

Abstract

Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS) is the current F-35 program solution for delivering core maintenance and logistics information solutions to F-35 warfighters. ALIS will continue to deliver the core logistics and maintenance infrastructure requirements for the F-35 enterprise as ALIS evolves into Operational Data Integrated Network (ODIN). ALIS includes features such as aircraft scheduling, training delivery, record keeping, technical data delivery, supply chain management, maintenance management, pilot and maintenance debriefing, and mission planning. Current ALIS development efforts are focused on low cost and high return investments that provide a high confidence return on investment in the short term, significant warfighter impact, and/or offer synergy with ODIN development efforts. ODIN will incrementally provide a modern, user-friendly integrated information system for the F-35 to deliver core maintenance and logistics information solutions. ODIN will be comprised of multiple elements to include modern hardware, architectures, software development methods, data environments, and platforms. Leveraging agile and modern software development practices, ODIN will serve as the primary logistics tool to support F-35 warfighter operations, health and diagnostics, mission planning, supply chain management, maintenance, and training. ODIN will substantially decrease F-35 administrator and maintainer workload, increase readiness rates for all F-35 variants, and allow software engineers to rapidly develop and deploy updates in response to changing warfighter requirements and improve data management, quality, and integrity. The ALIS to ODIN transition is intended to enable holistic fleet management, improve performance, enhance readiness, and reduce costs to the F-35 program. ODIN is comprised of both hardware and software which support the flow of Unclassified and Classified aircraft and maintenance-related data. Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) encompasses the Air-System set of software, technical data and capabilities to enable optimal maintenance, and resolution of aircraft failures and impending failures. On-aircraft software identifies failures, enables reporting of status to the pilot, and records data for life cycle management and sustaining engineering. The data processed by ALIS/ODIN supports maintenance debriefs, life cycle management via Assess Material Condition (AMC), and failure resolution via Health Reporting Codes (HRCs) and Anomaly and Failure Resolution System (AFRS). Maintenance performance (inclusive of reliability and maintainability) is enhanced via the collection and reporting of the Failure Reporting and Corrective Action System (FRACAS). Applied advanced analytics on the aggregate PHM is used for airframe lifting and enterprise use, and improves responsiveness to operational needs.
