Methods and systems for managing a fleet of assets
First Claim
1. A mission planning system for a fleet of assets comprising:
- a centralized database for storing information;
a computer system configured to be coupled to the database, the computer system further comprising;
a mission model configured to analyze a plurality of missions to be executed by the fleet of assets, the missions being defined by at least one task sequence and a set of environmental parameters associated with each task sequence;
an asset model configured to determine the capability of each asset to perform the task sequence associated with at least one mission using the historical data, the threshold data, and the mission analysis; and
a selection model configured to match at least one asset to each mission based on the determined asset capability, such that the capability of all assets is facilitated being optimized.

11. A method of managing life cycle costs associated with maintaining and operating a fleet of assets, said method comprising:
-
storing historical data relating to missions executed by each asset in a database, the historical data includes asset performance data and environmental data for each mission;
storing threshold data for each asset in the database, the threshold data relating to endurance limits for each asset;
analyzing a plurality of missions to be executed, the missions defined by at least one task sequence and a set of environmental parameters associated with each task sequence;
determining the capability of each asset to perform the task sequence associated with at least one mission using the historical data, the threshold data, and the mission analysis; and
matching at least one asset to each mission based on the determined asset capability, such that the capability of all assets is facilitated being optimized, the matching is performed using a computer. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for managing life cycle costs associated with maintaining and operating a fleet of assets, said program comprising at least one code segment that:
-
stores historical data relating to missions executed by each asset in a database wherein the historical data includes asset performance data and environmental data for each mission;
stores threshold data for each asset in the database, the threshold data relating to endurance limits for each asset;
analyzes a plurality of missions to be executed, the missions defined by at least one task sequence and a set of environmental parameters associated with each task sequence;
determines the capability of each asset to perform the task sequence associated with at least one mission using the historical data, the threshold data, and the mission analysis; and
matches at least one asset to each mission based on the determined asset capability, such that the capability of all assets is facilitated being optimized, the matching is performed using a computer.
