Description: This effort developed and transitioned a condition based monitoring technology for onboard detection, diagnostics, and prognostics of wire chaffing onboard Navy aircraft. The main tasks were to flight test a current prototype onboard an H-53 helicopter, and to enhance a previously developed prototype by increasing its sensitivity and reducing the interrogation time. Decaying, aged wiring is an insidious and usually unseen problem to aircraft maintainers and operators. With most aircraft wiring hidden from view, an enabling technology to detect wiring faults prior to electrical malfunction is urgently needed. Wiring defects are most often initially manifested by chaffing, followed by cumbersome, costly and time consuming repair.
