The fatigue life of aircraft's in service is different from the design life for many weapon systems not only due to the extended need for the airframe as a platform for new/upgraded systems (life extension) but also due to different usage compared to due initial design spectrum. Monitoring of the life consumption is therefore essential to assess practicability and cost effectiveness of planned upgrades and modifications. Methods and concepts to establish the 'used life' are described for two different types of fixed wing aircraft's and the influence of aircraft missions and equipment as well as structural weight increase over time are discussed. New integrated health monitoring systems with intelligent data processing and software capable comparing actual events or accumulated damage /wear with predefined limits evaluate their criticality and provide information to other systems are presented.
