The Development and Integration of an Engine Monitoring System for the F-14A+/D Super Tomcat

This paper will provide an overview of the engine monitoring system developed for the Navy / Grumman F-14A+/D Super Tomcat program. The design, integration and application of this system will be discussed, as well as the many benefits that have been realized through its use. Specific examples from F-14 development experience will be used to illustrate these topics. Lessons that were learned throughout the course of developing the F-14 engine monitoring system will also be presented, as the results of this experience are beneficial for future applications.
