The Boeing Company is developing an open Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) architecture; Smiths Aerospace is extending and applying it. The charter of the Boeing Phantom Works is to provide tools and assets that enable next generation vehicles to be more reliable, efficient, capable, and autonomous. In support of those goals Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) is receiving increased attention. The Open System Architecture for Condition Based Maintenance (OSACBM) is a standard for building IVHM applications that meet those goals. Boeing has created a software framework for developing generic tools based on OSACBM that support scaleable, efficient modules which simplify IVHM integration in two ways: First, the integration improves the IVHM software models, software algorithms, data, communications, and embedded processors. Second, integration facilitates the use of IVHM with command, control, communication, mission, flight, maintenance, and other vehicle major systems.12 Smiths Aerospace is a world leader in the development and deployment of IVHM Systems and has been a leading advocate of OSACBM in Europe. Smiths experience has clearly demonstrated the need for both industry standards, and a simple to use software development tool chain, to support the development of complex IVHM systems with multiple partners. The general benefits of adhering to a standard are well understood. This paper identifies specific benefits Boeing and Smiths Aerospace, with suppliers, partners, and subcontractors, have gained from use of the OSACBM standard, with respect to integration of hardware and software.
