  • Advanced Methodologies Applied in a Dynamic Maintenance Context
    Publication . Lampreia, S.; Lobo, Victor; Vairinhos, V.
    Maintaining military systems in a dynamic context presents unique challenges that require advanced methodologies to ensure the operational readiness and effectiveness of the Armed Forces. This article analyses and discusses advanced methodologies applied in the maintenance of military technology, highlighting their contributions to the optimization of the maintenance process in constantly evolving operational environments. Initially, we address the importance of predictive maintenance, which uses techniques such as real-time data analysis, condition monitoring and machine learning algorithms to predict failures and proactively schedule maintenance interventions. This approach minimizes downtime, and costs associated with corrective maintenance, significantly increasing the availability of military systems. Additionally, we explore the application of emerging technologies, databases and the use of smart sensors integrated into military equipment. These technologies enable the continuous collection of performance and condition data, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of the state of each component and system. This not only facilitates early detection of anomalies, but also supports data driven decision making, resulting in more efficient and accurate maintenance. The use of condition-based maintenance approaches is also discussed in this article. These methodologies consider not only the age or time of use of the equipment, but also its actual state of operation. By continuously monitoring operating conditions, it is possible to extend the life of systs, reduce unnecessary wear and tear, and plan maintenance interventions more effectively. Finally, we highlight the importance of integrating computer-aided maintenance management systems and decision support systems. The combination of these tools provides a comprehensive environment for planning, executing and analysing maintenance activities, enabling more efficient resource management and a more agile response to operational demands. In short, this article demonstrates how the adoption of advanced methodologies in the maintenance of military technology is fundamental to ensuring the operational readiness and effectiveness of the Armed Forces in a dynamic and constantly evolving context.

  • Navy Ship Dynamic Maintenance
    Publication . Lampreia, S.; Vairinhos, V.; Lobo, V.
    A maintenance system complemented with condition monitoring is suggest being implemented in Navy Ships to allow its patrol on the large maritime territory of Portugal with high performance and operationality. To that an advanced maintenance system is required oriented towards Condition Monitoring. That must be done while maximizing system performance, as well as improved high level of ship availability and minimal oil consumption in the form e.g. lubricants or refrigerant gases but also marine gasoil reducing the environment impact. To meet these objectives, we propose the development of a Dynamic Maintenance Management System (DMMS) based on dynamic prioritization process for technical interventions. That is where Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) comes in - a structured risk analysis framework to mitigate the propensity of failures occurring with consequences on ship systems and persons. With FMECA, maintenance priorities can be changed somewhat dynamically due to components and failure modes that are most critical based on actual performance.
