Vehicle health monitoring is the subset of system health management that refers to the detection of anomalies and failures on a vehicle. Much of the current vehicle health monitoring (VHM) research has focused on the development and maturation of new detection methods and optimization of sensors themselves. However, an equally important area to be addressed is how to assess, qualify, and certify a VHM system for commercial operation. This chapter presents a framework for characterizing and certifying VHM systems as presently established by the commercial and military aircraft community, which could be further adopted by almost any aerospace application. While the processes for certifying standard flight hardware are well known, for VHM to be practical it requires not only that these systems are reliable and durable, but also an understanding of how these systems can be used to achieve certifiable maintenance credits. Here we discuss existing standards for commercial and military aircraft components along with their relationship to VHM systems and provide examples of how similar systems have been used to achieve maintenance credits for military applications. The field of VHM has progressed significantly in recent years, and it will become critical to address certification explicitly before these systems can be successfully commercialized and subsequently utilized in a prognostic capacity to reduce inspection and/or maintenance costs.
