Structural Health Management (SHM) technology has been mainly focused on military aircraft applications addressing the need to decrease the cost and time of inspections and maintenance of aging military aircraft. The range of applications has been expanded to include commercial jet transport aircraft and reusable and expendable launch vehicles (RLVs & ELVs). With the realization that a future aerospace system life cycle cost is driven more by the operation and support (O&S) costs than by the initial acquisition cost, SHM has been identified as an essential technology for next generation aerospace vehicles. In addition to the O&S requirements, a significant improvement in safety, reliability and turnaround time need to be addressed. Structural health management system requirements, architectures, and eventual end-user acceptance and implementation will vary considerably depending on the preferences and O&S requirements of the end-user. This presentation will discuss: 1) SHM technologies that Boeing has been pursuing or applied to products, 2) SHM as a system, and 3) technology readiness and transition strategy.
