Aircraft LRU data collection and reliability prediction
First Claim
1. A method for determining failure conditions associated with aircraft installed line-replaceable-units, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a remote computing system, first operational data collected by a first line-replaceable-unit of a first aircraft during flight operations of the first aircraft;
receiving, by the remote computing system, second operational data collected by at least one second line-replaceable-unit of at least one second aircraft during flight operations of the at least one second aircraft;
predicting, by the remote computing system, based at least in part on the first operational data and the second operational data, a failure condition associated with the first line-replaceable-unit of the first aircraft; and
outputting, by the remote computing system, an indication of the failure condition.

Abstract
A remote computing system is described that includes at least one processor and at least one module. The at least one module is operable by the at least one processor to receive first operational data collected by a first line-replaceable-unit of a first aircraft during flight operations of the first aircraft, and receive second operational data collected by at least one second line-replaceable-unit of at least one second aircraft during flight operations of the at least one second aircraft. The at least one module is further operable by the at least one processor to predict, based at least in part on the first operational data and the second operational data, a failure condition associated with the first line-replaceable-unit of the first aircraft, and output, based on the impending failure condition, an indication of the predicted failure condition.

9. A remote computing system for determining failure conditions associated with aircraft installed line-replaceable-units, the remote computing system comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one module operable by the at least one processor to; receive first operational data collected by a first line-replaceable-unit, installed onboard a first aircraft, during flight operations of the first aircraft; receive second operational data collected by at least one second line-replaceable-unit, installed onboard at least one second aircraft, during flight operations of the at least one second aircraft; predict, based at least in part on the first operational data and the second operational data, a failure condition associated with the first line-replaceable-unit; and output, an indication of the failure condition. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A remote computing system for determining failure conditions associated with aircraft installed line-replaceable-units, the remote computing system comprising:
-
means for receiving first operational data collected by a first line-replaceable-unit of a first aircraft during flight operations of the first aircraft, the first operational data including information associated with one or more single event upsets detected by the first line-replaceable unit during the flight operations of the first aircraft; means for receiving second operational data collected by at least one second line-replaceable-unit of at least one second aircraft during flight operations of the at least one second aircraft, the second operational data including information associated with one or more single event upsets detected by the second line-replaceable unit during the flight operations of the second aircraft; means for predicting, based at least in part on the first operational data and the second operational data, a failure condition associated with the first line-replaceable-unit of the first aircraft; and means for outputting an indication of the failure condition. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
