thorough analysis of Predictive Maintenance for the operation and Maintenance of Military aircraft Om Ranjan* The increasing digitisation of aircraft operations and support in recent years have made it possible to monitor, assess, and predict the health of aircraft structures, systems, and components more often. [...] But this predictive maintenance approach is only possible when first, the relation between the degradation rate and the operational conditions can be quantified, and second, the variations in these conditions are monitored.5 Therefore, to an extent adopting physical failure models that quantitatively describe the damage rates as a function of system usage can satisfy the first requirement. [...] The monitoring of the right use parameter and its conversion into the proper internal load is the 304 Journal of Defence Studies key to using these models in a predictive maintenance concept. [...] Although the likelihood of a data breach increases as more devices and sensors connect to the internet via the IoT, at the same time more data can be gathered and shared between the aircraft equipment and devices, which ultimately can improve the predictive maintenance procedures. [...] With the use of digital twins, actual assets and systems may be virtually replicated, enabling experimentation, optimisation, and simulation of various situations and circumstances, but the larger issues remains about the transfer of crucial in-link and out-link data between aircraft and the server.
