Readiness Integration Center (RIC)

The Naval Air System Command (NAVAIR) Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE) Automated Logistics Environment (ALE) is applying Big Data Analytics and Cloud Computing Technology to support critical elements of Condition Based Maintenance Plus (CBM+) and Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) for NAVAIR platforms. The Comprehensive Automated Maintenance Environment -- Optimized (CAMEO) Readiness Integration Center (RIC) ALE capability focus is on the V-22 platform with an implementation strategy to apply Collaborative, Agile, Open Source, Big Data Analytics, and Cloud Technology to Collect, Connect, Warehouse, Analyze, and Act to improve platform readiness. The RIC is leveraging NAVAIR NAE ALE capability to Collect, Connect, and Warehouse critical Platform data. NAE collaboration with V-22, E2D, and Triton automated data extracts to support Platform analytic and decision support tool use and development. The RIC sponsors V-22 collaborative, agile, open source development using big data analytics and cloud technology to support the V-22 Readiness Steering Committee and Readiness Teams. The RIC actively supports Agile methodology for analytic and decision support tool development. The RIC use of Open Source tenants includes protections for intellectual property and licensing for use. The RIC development environment is consistent with Big Data and Cloud Technology computing and the RIC infrastructure and selected toolsets have completed proof of concept implementation in the Cloud. The focus of this paper is to describe a "day in the life of Big Data Analytics" from data recording and collection through RIC analytics and use by in service support engineering to effect corrective action.
