Integrated Systems Health Management

Arbor is a code name for an open data model and system architecture for solving an interesting set of problems that must handle large quantities of time variant information. Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) is a problem area that the Arbor system was designed to address. We present the reader with a CBM scenario that is implemented on Arbor. Using this scenario as an example, we demonstrate how an Arbor based system provides: (1) reduced development cycle times, (2) shortened maintenance and redeployment cycle times, (3) lower total costs, (4) higher quality, (5) increased operational efficiency, and (6) tactical advantage. We then describe the relationship between Arbor and standards efforts, including those representative of the CBM space. Finally, we mention specific problem areas where Arbor based systems have been deployed and operated at a high technical readiness level.
