Noteworthy!
IMMS Director appointed to 5-year term as 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
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 & Award
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.
