HUMS Management Family

Mini and Micro T-HUMS for UAVs

RSL Mini T-HUMS and Micro T-HUMS for UAVs are leading edge health management solutions for UAV engines and their accessories. They significantly improve flight safety, mission reliability and effectiveness, as well as increase fleet operational readiness while reducing fleet operating and maintenance costs.

Mini/Micro T-HUMS are featured with a reliable in-flight, real-time automatic diagnostics and prognostics which use a smart array of sensors, whose data is processed by a compact yet powerful processor.

Mini/Micro T-HUMS provide in-mission operator advisories and enable the maintenance crew timely and cost-effective maintenance. Therefore, they enable Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) and improved mission reliability.

The Mini/Micro T-HUMS’ open architecture offers our customers several configurations, including propeller balancing, mission parameters, video recording for post-mission debriefing and usage tracking, also providing the benefits of a Flight Data Recorder (FDR).

MT-HUMS can be used onboard light helicopters applications as well.

Maintenance Benefits:

Condition Based Maintenance (CBM)
Reduction of mission aborts
Less AOG
Simplified logistics for fleet deployment
Benefits earned on all maintenance echelons
Reduced maintenance effort and cost with:
- "Maintain as you fly"- Maintenance flights are obsolete
- Repair when damage is still minor
Increased UAV MTBF
Decreased UAV MTTR

Operational Benefits:

Improved flight safety
Increased UAV MTBL
Improved mission reliability and effectiveness
Fewer IFSD, mission aborts
Improved fleet availability, operational readiness and effectiveness
Enables UAV autonomy/unsupervised loitering
Fewer maintenance flights
Lower flight hour cost
Reduced operator's workload
Post-mission assessment and debriefing FOQA (Flight Operation Quality Assurance) programs supported
