3 BACKGROUND Boeing Boeing Holger Speckmann (HS)
Current status of ensuring the structural health should be separated
into military and civil, because they are very different
3.1 History of Health Management HS
We have to focus on Structure Health Monitoring and not on Health
Monitoring in general. HM in general will include systems, engines, etc.
This will overload the guidebook and it is not the intention for this
guide line.
3.2 Vehicle Health Monitoring comments!C4
3.3 Integrated Vehicle Health Management
4 INTRODUCTION TO SHM SYSTEMS BAE systems
4.1 Definition of SHM HS NRC, Boeing, Sandia

Diagnosis, damage extent/effect
Prognosis
4.5 Modes of operation scheduled SHM (S-SHM)
continuous SHM (C-SHM)
prognostic SHM (P-SHM)
5 EXISTING (?) MAINTENANCE PRACTICES HS
This should be before Chapter 4, because it will explain the status,

comment
I am not sure if I totally understood the item "Relationship between NDE and SHM ". However, if I understood it
correctly I thing it would be more applicable to have it inside chapter "10 - IN-SERVICE MANAGEMENT " instead
of having it inside chapter "5 - EXISTING (?) MAINTENANCE PRACTICES ", once this is more related to the
application of SHM technology comparativelly to typical NDE. Nevertheless, another approach would be having the
presentation of NDE on chapter 5 and the relationship to SHM on chapter 10;
Both chapters "CERTIFICATION (Military) " and "IN-SERVICE MANAGEMENT " have the same number.
"CERTIFICATION (Military) " will be part of the same "civilian" guideline, correct?
It is not so clear to me the differences between "Vehicle Health Management" and "Integrated Vehicle Health
Management";
I believe we need to map the relationship between SHM and overall vehicle health management somewhere in
the guidelines, perhaps in the 'operational approaches' or in the ' health management key definitions '
suggested in the notes page . The notion of Integrated vehicle health management seems to be gaining more
traction lately. Aircraft OEMs are being driven down the 'service provider' route both in military and civil circles
which is bringing whole aircraft approaches to health managment to the fore. This could be a major factor in
getting SHM implemented since the business models for availability contracting will inevitably draw all
maintenance issues into a linked framework (e.g. around CBM, fault forwarding etc...).
need to include 'On-board & off-line monitoring' category
