IMMS Activities

 

Texas Tech University, Edward E. Whitacre, Jr. College of Engineering, and IMMS were mentioned in GE Aviation Press release

IMMS Director was appointed (5-year term) to be the "Person of Interest" for the research collaboration in support of the Cybersecurity Manufacturing Innovation Institute (CyManII) at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA)

Research Accomplishment, November 2020
IMMS completed the development of integrated Manifolds for Aviation Data (iMAD) and visualized Maintenance Analytics and De-noising (vMAD) toolsets, which are based on advanced statistical methods and visualization techniques to: (a) reduce heterogeneous data files and datasets and inconsistencies; (b) enable healing of broken/erroneous data; and (c) de-noise and synchronize maintenance priorities.

New research partnership and award, June 2020
IMMS signed a research agreement/contract and teamed with AVX Aircraft Company to develop the maintenance remaining useful life (RUL) validator application and associated tools for the rotorcraft-automated component tracking program emphasizing on the gas turbine engine and associated components. The application and tool design will meet the open architecture requirement. The developed application and associated tools will reside in the ground-based system, which can autonomously process the incremental configuration reports from Aircraft Notebook, validate the data against the configuration and RUL historical information from component definitions provided by the Army logistics echelon including the maintenance depots, and provides a validation input and report to the Army logistic chains.

New research partnership and award, November 2019
IMMS signed a research agreement/contract and teamed with AVX Aircraft Company to develop applicable toolsets, including algorithm, to refine and reduce the aviation sustainment data for use by the U.S. Army maintenance and support personnel. During the development, IMMS Team will use a significant amount of logistic and maintenance data and information from multiple heterogeneous database systems, including HUMS, Unit Level Logistics System - Aviation (ULLS-A), and Voice and Data Recorder (VADR).
