The Onboard Life Monitoring System (OLMOS) of a military aircraft is described. It gathers and processes onboard stress relevant data to determine life cycles of the engines and structure. It monitors limit exceedance and events and stores the results onboard in nonvolatile stores. The onboard functions were implemented into the data acquisition unit of the existing crash recorder system. The logistic and technical evaluation of the data are implemented into the OLMOS Ground Station (OGS) that has a data link to the central logistic system of the Air Force by means of a hand held terminal, the onboard collected data are displayed and transferred to the OGS.
