Knowledge-Based Dynamic Maintenance System
for the Navy
The Navy's next generation of vessels will be characterized by communication and
power systems of significantly increased complexity and capability, crews that
are significantly smaller and have fewer years of experience, and an expectation
of a very high level of readiness. These ambitious goals can be achieved only if
the extensive shore-based expertise associated with these new ships is available
to support their crews as they perform their missions at sea.
What is our goal? Help the sailor faced with operational failure and
maintenance troubleshooting
What are the problems? Enormity and complexity of the data environment;
lack of IT resources
What do we offer? Knowledge-based Dynamic Maintenance
• deliver official procedures: make the complex accessible.
• deliver alternative solutions (more efficient and cost effective):
capture experiences and knowledge of sailors and subject matter experts; analyze
failures and fault isolation patterns; apply advanced research technologies in
knowledge capture and access.
• deliver predictive maintenance: apply advanced research technologies in
data mining.
