System Architecture for NASA Integrated Vehicle Health Management

MitekAn's PI, Dr. Gorinevsky, led NASA Aviation Safety Program contract in developing "Systems Architecture for Integration of Vehicle Health Management Research". This is a Level 4 integrative effort within NASA IVHM (Integrated Vehicle Health Management) Project that is closely connected to the program guidance, planning, and work of its advisory committees.

The NASA IVHM Architecture project formulated an open architecture supporting integration and test of NASA-funded IVHM research. NASA ARMD IVHM Project sponsors about a hundred diverse individual project efforts. NASA's vision was that all these developments will contribute and could be integrated into the IVHM system of the next generation aircraft. NASA used the IVHM architecture for establishing requirements to the IVHM component projects and integrating research and development results of these projects. MitekAn collaborated with Boeing, Honeywell, and GE Aviation in this NASA project. MitekAn's PI had a key role in the IVHM advisory groups including members of these and other leading industrial companies, NASA, and Air Force and guiding the architecture development.

The architecture documentation was developed using DODAF (DoD Architecture Framework). IVHM Integration Testbed was demonstrated assoftware and computing system hardware platform for integrating individual IVHM developments, prototyping and testing integrated demonstration systems. The IVHM Integration Testbed implementation is based on Sun Microsystems’ open source OpenESB software including GlassFish application server, database, web services, Matlab integration, workflow engine, and NetBeans.
