Abstract(s)
O sistema de armas AugustaWestand EH101 "Merlin" é considerado um dos mais modernos e tecnológicos existentes no mundo face aos sistemas avançados que o constituem. O helicopter integra o Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS) que permite monitorizar e acompanhar automaticamente a condição e o desgaste dos componentes a bordo e alertar a tripulação em tempo real para eventuais anomalias de componentes em voo. Os dados HUMS gravados em voo podem ser descarregados após cada voo para a Portuguese Ground Station (PGS) onde serão analisados e processados.
A PGS consiste num software de gestão e manutenção do helicóptero que faz o registo de atividades de manutenção e o processamento dos dados recolhidos pelos sistemas de monitorização entre outras funções. É um software proprietário de código fechado destinado a correr em ambientes com sistemas operativos Microsoft Windows XP cujo suporte será descontinuado em abril de 2014 Segundo anunciou a Microsoft. Este fato pode comprometer a curto-médio prazo a continuação da utilização da PGS caso a Forc¸a Aérea Portuguesa (FAP) deixe de utilizar o sistema operativo Windows XP, em virtude da atualização do seu sistema operativo base.
Além do referido a PGS é um software de código fechado implicando com isso que não é possível à FAP adaptá-lo às necessidades institucionais emergentes, ficando este num futuro próximo obsoleto.
Contudo contém algoritmos de processamento de métricas e de dados de monitorização que são fulcrais para tratar os dados recolhidos no helicóptero.
Uma vez que não existe um software alternativo à PGS que opere em qualquer plataforma informática e como a sua utilização é necessária para a atualização e processamento dos dados do helicóptero a solução que se apresenta é a criação de uma web application que nâo substituir á na íntegra a PGS mas que faça o download da informação da base de dados.
A aplicação designada Sistema de Apoio à Gestão do EH101 (SAGEH) foi desenvolvida em OutSystems, que consiste numa ferramenta atual, flexível e de simples utilização. A SAGEH acede à PGS através de um explorador de internet e assim pode ser utilizada em qualquer sistema operativo além de que permite à FAP ter a total liberdade no controlo das suas funcionalidades.
Para tal é feito um estudo dos sistemas a bordo do helicóptero e da PGS, dos dados de entrada e saída dos sistemas assim como da forma e da estrutura em que estes sâo guardados.
No final é apresentado o SAGEH juntamente com as suas funcionalidades de visualização de dados e um módulo de análise inteligente de anomalias nos sistemas de transmissão e vibração tornandoa numa ferramenta de grande importância para o apoio e a tomada de decisões na gestão do helicóptero EH101.
The AugustaWestand EH101 "Merlin" weapons system is known as one of the most modern e technological advanced in the world thanks to its advanced systems. The helicopter integrates the Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS) that allows to automatically monitor the current condition and usage of its components, alerts the crew in real time to eventual anomalies of the helicopter components. The HUMS data that is recorded during flight can be later downloaded to the Portuguese Ground Station (PGS) where the data will be analysed and processed. The PGS consists of a helicopter management and maintenance software that does the registry of maintenance activities and the processing of the data collected by the monitoring systems between other functions. It is a closed proprietary software destined to run in Microsoft Windows XP operative systems environments, whose support will be discontinued in April of 2014 like Microsoft announced. This information compromises the continuation of use of the PGS in case the Portuguese Air Force (FAP) stops using the Windows XP operative system due to the updating of its systems. Apart from the above, PGS is a closed source software, which implies that it is not possible to the FAP to adapt it to its emerging institutional needs, lying in this moment obsolete and out of place. However it contains the metric processing algorithm and data monitoring that are essential to process the collected data on the helicopter. Since there is no similar software to the PGS that operates in any computer platform and its operation is necessary to update and process helicopter data the solution presented is the development of a web application that will not substitute completely the PGS but download the information from the database. The application named Sistema de Apoio à Gestão do EH101 (SAGEH) was developed in OutSystems that consists in updated and flexible tool of simple use. The SAGEH accesses the PGS trough an internet browser and that way it can be used in any operating system, furthermore it gives the FAP total freedom in the control of its functionalities. For that it is done a study of the systems on board the helicopter, oh the input and output data as well as the way and the structure in which these are kept. In the end, it is presented both the web application and its data visualization features alongside with the smart anomalies analysis module in the transmission and vibration systems, making it a major tool for the support and decision making in the management of the EH101 helicopter.
