Abstract:Many researches have been conducted at Diagnosis, Prognosis and Health Management (DPHM) and progresses have been made in advanced sensors, knowledge modelling, prediction algorithms, etc. However, a complete health management system has yet to be formed. Particularly, the research into the ground support system architecture is at the early stage. This study intends to investigate the operation and application requirements of health management in commercial operation support and product technical support by referencing the state of art health management technologies, specifications and successful experience. The design scheme of the ground support system architecture is proposed based on civil aircraft health management in order to satisfy the information demand and product support demand of aircraft health management from various customers.
