Sikorsky has continued to enhance safety with the extensive use of health and usage monitoring system (HUMS) data. HUMS provides extensive data on helicopter system health which is utilized for proactive maintenance and can be leveraged to rapidly clear the aircraft for the next flight, saving time and money.
Analysts at Sikorsky’s Customer Care Center use HUMS data to help keep aircraft in tip-top shape from nose to tail by ensuring parts are available where and when you need them.
“Ultimately, everything we do – every new technology we develop – considers the impact to improving the safe operation of our aircraft,” said Dana Fiatarone, Lockheed Martin vice president, Sikorsky Commercial Systems & Services. “It’s always going to be our highest priority and an uncompromising value as we look at current helicopters and those that are taking us into the future.”
