2. What is CBM+?
At its heart, CBM+ is an engineering initiative wrapped around maintenance with information technology (IT) as an enabler to facilitate information and decision-making action

3. Real-world CBM+ CH-47 Aft Swashplate Bearing Example
Class A mishap occurred: Catastrophic Failure
Mishap investigation required frequent manual inspection (extensive)
CBM+ solution: Monitoring of bearing health
Sensor data eliminated manual inspection and enabled replacement before another costly catastrophic failure
Mission Readiness
Supports warfighter
Asset Supportability
Increased safety
Cost Effectiveness
Prevented high cost asset loss

4. AF CBM+ Approach Overview
CRAWL – Immediate Value
Capitalize on existing pockets of excellence
New perspective utilization of existing data and domain expertise
Enhanced field Mx operations
Standardized processes to adopt predictive prognostics and monitoring
Enhanced data integrity tools/suites & training
Sustain over time.
WALK – Mid-Term Outlook
Field + Depot Mx data set mash-ups and indicators
Integration of corrosion, NDI, and other key conditional information sets (sensor feeds)
Enhanced data integrity tools qualified for enterprise
Cyber secure, collaborative and full-scale accessible environment
RUN – Game-Changers
Active CBM+ monitoring across USAF enterprise
Real-time, state of the art data integrity systems
Full-scale use of AIT and point of Mx tools
Fully integrated engineering, supply & logistics operations = no unplanned Mx
Ultimate Goal: Reduce…to Eventually No Unplanned Mx!
