Aviation Maintenance Advancement Solutions (AMAS)

Abstract

Aviation Maintenance Advancement Solutions (AMAS) has formed by the merge of The Portable Electronic Maintenance Aid (PEMA)and Standard PEMA Cyber Solution (SPECS). Portable Electronic Maintenance Aid (PEMA) funding supports the evaluation, testing and integration to develop PEMA Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) solution for portable device deployments across the Naval Aviation Enterprise. PEMAs are portable devices utilized by maintainers with the implementation of digital maintenance capabilities (digital publications, Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals, Internet Protocol based data uploads, Binary digit data downloads, automated diagnostics, and planeside Naval Aviation Logistic Command Management Information System. PEMAs are a mandatory display device supporting modern day Automated Maintenance Environment implemented for weapon systems. Cyber Risk Assessment (CRA) has identified cyber vulnerabilities that could be exploited to threaten US fighting forces. Implementation of mandatory Cyber Security (CS) requirements would decrease the CS attack surface. Develop Standard PEMA Cyber Solution (SPECS) architecture for all PEMAs to standardize software across NAE, leverage existing enterprise tools, and to correct cyber shortfalls identified by the Cyber Warfare Detachment (CWD) Cyber Risk Assessment (CRA). Implement CS enhancements to reduce risk from cyber-attack. A key challenge to the maintenance of complex systems is accessing expertise at the point-of-need. Mission Capable rates suffer because authoritative knowledge and experience on complex repairs is difficult to access, geographically remote, or organizationally segregated. Develop virtual assistance from a subject matter expert (SME) to the maintainer in real-time through voice/chat communication and indications through hologram overlays within the maintainers view allowing guidance with highlight items of interest on the equipment being worked. The Augmented Reality Remote Maintenance Services (ARRMS) is a Department of the Navy (DoN) developed software suite. Providing real-time communication between a Subject Matter Expert (SME) and a maintainer. Enabling remote maintenance assistance, reducing the need to travel to the maintenance site. ARRMSS will enable maintainers at all Organizational, Intermediate, and Depot level sites to have immediate SME assistance on all maintenance actions, as well as being able to provide remote training.
