U.S. Army AED Aviation Data Science 2018 Update

Over the past several years, a focus on and vision for data science in operational aviation data sets has emerged from the United States Armys Aviation Engineering Directorate (AED) team that has traditionally focused on vibration diagnostics and HUMS applications. Recently formed into a separate team under the Aerodynamics and Simulation Branch, this team has pursued the organizational, technological and intellectual challenges required to apply data science to aviation data, and to field data science products to systems under airworthiness governance. This paper provides an update on several of the specific areas of accomplishment and direction, with further detailed information referenced.
