Market Trends
Aerospace
• Capability not asset procurement by DOD/MOD
• Reduced asset supply / increase service content for primes
• Primes managing the fleet
• Information that can help minimise maintenance and operational costs will be one of the key enablers for Primes to grow margins
Non-Aerospace
• Effective use of information is differentiating successful business
• Wall Mart / Tesco – leaders in optimising retail business through the use of information derived from large quantities of data
• Aggressive bank lending through more effective risk management
• Amazon - using information exploitation technology to target cross marketing

Information Exploitation Description
Provision of Intelligent tools to provide the Maintenance manager , Fleet Manager or Design Authority with information and decision making aids
Conversion of data to information that provides direct benefits Provision of services to support data management, information generation either as an
Information provider – or- Risk sharing partner in the provision of end benefit ( Reduced O/S costs etc.)
Key Elements
Centralized warehousing of vehicle health and usage data Application of intelligent tools to extract value from data Web based data /information presentation/ access Provision of decision making aid to end user Integration of IVHM data with other Ground data management systems (Maintenance
management / Logistics systems)
Customer’s needs
What is Information Exploitation
Increased vehicle Readiness Reduced Cost of vehicle ownership Fleet Asset management Increased Safety Increased vehicle Performance
6Code/DateSmiths Aerospace
Basic premise
Fundamental Assumption
Unlocking information derived from vehicle data collection systems (eg. HUMS) has significant potential to reduce vehicle operating and maintenance through life cost .
Characterisation of HUMS today
• Well exploited for safety benefit but poorly exploited for maintenance cost reduction and fleet management
• Inaccessibility of HUMS data within operators organisation
• Large quantities of data but limited high grade information to support decision making
Key enablers to unlock the value
• Support contracts based upon asset availability or power by the hour which financially incentivise reduction in maintenance cost
• Centralised management providing accessibility of the data coupled with the application of information exploitation tools
• Knowledge of aircraft operating environment in order to determine what information can add value and how the value can be quantified
• Design Authority support to change maintenance practices or improve asset reliability

S&RL Way Ahead
Much Technology for Sense and Respond exists No cohesive approach Need more work on “Interpret”
Many issues to overcome Color of money Rice bowls Desire to sell more “black boxes”
Companies and services stove piped
Focus on capability and outcomes Requires team approach
Services/Primes/Subs
Consider War fighter's Needs
DoD 5000-like structure required
