Working
Group in Intelligent Aviation Services
PILOT (for Prognostics
Integrated Logistics) is a consortium of global universities, aerospace
manufacturing companies, and airlines that have aligned to engage
in collaborative research and development activities to achieve
significant improvements in the provisioning of intelligent aviation
services.
Specifically, PILOT hopes to achieve improvements in aviation asset
management through the conduct of research and development activities
that promote intelligent technologies, including prognostics and
intelligent software, in activities such as aircraft health monitoring,
maintenance planning, parts logistics and supply chain management.
Research activities include:
- Assess and evaluate
state-of-the-art prognostics and related sensor, intelligent agent,
and information technologies from the perspective of aircraft
health management;
- Develop new logistics
and supply chain concepts and models that are motivated by new
intelligent prognostics and RFID;
- Identify new capabilities
and service offerings that have the potential that create business
opportunities for industry members of PILOT.
- Model, simulate and
assess performance improvements and competitive benefits of new
prognostics-integrated practices, policies and strategies across
the value chain; and
- Develop intelligent
prototypes and applications in UNC’s Intelligent Systems
Laboratory that can be scaled for future implementation in an
operational environment.
