• TODAY– Networks are moving data through the theater to enterprise. Bandwidth– Data is being collected for current analysis and stored for future analytic

requirements. CBM– Automation is used throughout the Enterprise. Multiple Systems– Maintenance management information system (MMIS) continues to improve.

All Levels– Some critical components are analyzed with Condition Based Maintenance

tools. Evolving

• TOMORROW– Networks that fully support Enterprise, CBM, MFOQA requirements. Volume /

Storage Restrictions– Data to support mission readiness and engineering purposes. How Much Of

What– Automation Integration. Independent Solutions, Some Proprietary– Robust aircraft diagnostic/prognostic (CBM) capabilities. IETM, GSS,

Communications– Military Flight Operations Quality Assurance (MFOQA) program

implementation. Blending Of Systems

MFOQA MFOQA ((Military Flight Operations Quality Assurance)Military Flight Operations Quality Assurance)

• Military Flight Operations Quality Assurance (MFOQA) – Is a Knowledge management process– Will employ a web based knowledge-driven decision support system (DSS)– Provides actionable information to decision makers for improvements in maintenance,

operations, safety, and training (MOST).– Uses aircraft flight data downloaded after every flight.– Leverages: Aircraft, Ground Station, Communications, Safety, Personnel and Enterprise

Systems

• Derived from the civilian version, FOQA, an accepted commercial standard operating procedure endorsed by the FAA.

• MFOQA goes beyond traditional Quality Assurance by providing:– Situational awareness and understanding.– Pre/Post mission debrief.– Aircraft maintenance and troubleshooting.– Flight data analysis.– Mishap investigation.
