DEFINITION:
Complex systems comprising electronic, electro-mechanical and hydraulic sub-systems must be engineered with ease of maintenance as a design goal. In a fielded system, effective preventive maintenance achieved through online system health monitoring, damage detection and smart diagnostics and repair strategies will
yield significant saving in the total life cycle costs, by improving the systems’ reliability, maintainability and availability.
