quantom purpose
• Improving air transport time efficiency through
orchestration of a step change in aircraft health monitoring
& management
large A/C;
regional; bizjet; helicopters
aircraft assets: airframe; engine; systems; cabin

• Previous working title: “GOLD”

why focus on aircraft health management?
• The European Commission and industry advisory groups recognise
improving the time efficiency of air transport as a strategic objective,
societally and economically:
Congestion
of air space demands efficient use of that space
– No delays, disruptions, diversions, turns-back
The
market (airlines) demands unprecedented levels of aircraft
availability and significant reductions in operating cost
– Diversity of business and operating models
© AIRBUS S.A.S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document.
Passenger
tolerance to delays & cancelations is diminishing, and
they rightly expect the highest standards of transport safety to be
maintained
– Diversity of airlines, and airline business models
• Aircraft health management is the critical contributor to the
achievement of this strategic objective

why is quantom necessary when…?
• There is a lot of health monitoring & management technology
available, or in development
Smart wireless sensors, RFID, prognostic algorithms, diagnostic
methods etc
Global communication networks
Many R&T projects: TATEM, SMMART, ECAB, SMIST, HILAS,
SWANS, WISE, TRIADE, ARTIMA, AROSATEC …
• Some visionary OEMs have already transformed their after sales

Because, A/C HM is a highly complex system of
systems….
• There is no common understanding of the health management
“system” for air transport
• Airlines, MROs, OEMS operate in a fragmented maintenance world
 Airlines/MROs
presented with diverse, dissimilar proprietary solutions
 Innovation
barriers: where and how to play; difficult access to/visibility of information
at market level
• HM solutions have been driven more bottom up than top down
 Often
no clear business case to justify the selection of technologies
© AIRBUS S.A.S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document.
• The volume of information to be communicated and managed
continues to grow, as is the temptation to add more sensors and
intelligent devices
• There remains a lack of confidence/trust in the robustness and
dependability of prognosis and diagnosis
 What
does all this technology actually bring?
