Maintenance Data Warehouse

Abstract

Aviation Data Warehouse/NAVAIR Decision Knowledge Programming for Logistics Analysis and Technical Evaluation (DECKPLATE) - The development of the DECKPLATE program is the next generation data warehouse for aircraft maintenance, flight, and usage data. It provides a web-based interface to a single source of information currently being stored in multiple Naval Aviation Logistics Data Analysis systems. Through the use of analysis, query, and reporting tools the user has the capabilities to effectively obtain readiness data in a near real-time environment, as well as providing historical data for long range planning, trend analysis and records analysis, records reconstruction, and compliance with technical directives. DECKPLATE supports the mission of the warfighter who requires a single source of near real-time aviation data in which to base critical readiness decisions. This requires collecting data from authoritative sources into a data warehouse. Because the warfighter only needs to access one database, the time consuming task of collecting various pieces of data from various sources will be reduced and ultimately eliminated. This improves data quality because it reduces the possibility of two systems providing identical data elements, but slightly different data. Data availability is improved through continuous near real-time feeds from the data sources, giving the warfighter the most current information to base decisions. In addition, this also accomplishes a reduction in legacy systems mandated by Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. DECKPLATE manages total inventory for two major categories of assets, Aircraft and Engine/Propulsion Systems/Modules (EPSMs).DECKPLATE is comprised of the Aircraft Inventory and Readiness Reporting (DECK-AIRRS) and the Engine Transaction Reporting (DECK-ETR) subsystems which provide the complete lifecycle for aircraft and Engine/ Propulsion System/Modules (EPSMs). Condition Based Maintenance Plus (CBM+) - Funding supports the automated analysis and decision making processes, for the CBM+ Initiative which provides Naval Aviation Enterprise with common enabling capabilities which deliver timely data-driven decisional information to optimize aircraft availability and materiel readiness by incorporating health and usage leading indicators into the failure mode mitigation process, enabling the Warfighter to more efficiently meet mission requirements. The CBM+ Initiative increases readiness by streamlining maintenance processes, provide the sustainment base with timely, actionable logistics data not previously available, and enable engineers and acquisition professionals to support system improvements based on CBM+ acquired data results. CBM+ provides the enabling solutions needed to extend the life of current and new acquisition aircraft, realizing savings from reductions in field (organizational and intermediate) maintenance actions, reduced functional check flight hours, mishap mitigation, and reduced parts usage. The Aviation Logistics Environment (ALE) program is the Naval Aviation Information Technology (IT) solution to deliver full lifecycle weapon system logistics and maintenance capabilities to the functional Naval Aviation Support Process (NASP). It will deliver these capabilities via a net centric, shared data environment that supports shore based, afloat, and expeditionary operations. The ALE integrates IT services plane-side and interfaces with infrastructure systems where necessary. ALE is a major logistics enterprise solution and a part of the total enterprise solution architecture. ALE is designed to structure IT services so that they can connect with other parts of the enterprise solution set, thus enabling an interoperable end-to-end business process. ALE consolidates Naval Aviation data into an integrated data environment for high level analysis. The purpose of ALE is to integrate, organize, and develop an underlying infrastructure and analytical capacity across the NASP in order to generate a holistic timely picture of readiness and condition for all T/M/S. ALE will be providing modern Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Decision Support (Predictive Analytics), Planeside Interfacing, and the Enterprise Infrastructure to support the NAE. The ALE program is a "system of systems" that will provide a common, integrated data environment that will enable NAE Vision 2020 data transparency across the Naval Aviation Enterprise; end-to-end process view to enable both consuming and providing on-demand information to stakeholders; a capability to view "digital twins" of all T/M/S for both allowable and as-configured states; a consolidation of aging, near-end-of-life systems and applications to modern technology and cost efficient support infrastructures; consistent and accurate weapons systems technical and CAD engineering documentation to support additive manufacturing capabilities; standardized metrics, algorithms, and business analysis tools; an architecture that enables migration to the cloud; and alignment to Information Assurance (IA) and Cybersecurity standards, and Risk Management Framework (RMF) compliance. Vector (formally Integrated Logistics Management System (ILSMS)) supports the development of a common logistics analytical application that uses disciplined approach to Business Intelligence (BI) architecture that combines products, technology and methods aimed at key Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE) business processes providing a single data source which focuses on aircraft readiness, maintenance, supply, cost, and man-hours. Vector provides naval aviation with a common source for approved key performance metrics and the capability to perform multi-system analysis of Ready for Tasking (RFT)/Ready Basic Aircraft (RBA) Gap drivers, 'Top-Down' aircraft systems analysis down to the component level, and identifies system performance trends early to mitigate future readiness and cost impacts to the fleet. Dynamic Scheduling optimizes aircraft (BuNo specific), engine and component maintenance through task sequencing based on reliability and failure data, and asset utilization vice calendar directed maintenance. Aviation Logistics Environment (ALE) reduces ~33 disparate IT systems into a single unified governance ecosystem, and allows for modernization of existing software, hardware, and infrastructure in order to improve cyber readiness and support aircraft and weapons logistics information exchange requirements. Establishment of ALE provides the NAE one common Logistics IT solution for readiness reporting and maintenance at a reduced sustainment cost.
