The On-board Life Monitoring System (OLMOS) of the Tornado aircraft is described. It gathers and processes on-board stress relevant data to determine life consumption of the engine and structure. It monitors limit exceedances and events and stores the results on-board in nonvolatile stores. The on-board functions were implemented into the data acquisition unit of the existing crash recorder system. To control and evaluate the collected data and to distribute logistic results into the logistic system of the German Air Force the OLMOS ground station provides the necessary support. For the link between aircraft and ground station, a special hand held terminal is required. The stand alone operation of the ground station must be possible, as well as the emergency operation of the hand held terminal when no ground support is available.
