Dynamic multi-stage air data probe prognostics health monitoring management

A vehicle-borne probe monitoring system, the vehicle-borne probe monitoring system comprising:

• a probe with a heating element and an expected lifetime;
• and
• a system for monitoring the probe, the system comprising:
• a first edge device in communication with the probe and comprising a processor unit with a hosted prognostic health monitoring module that is configured to perform prognostic health monitoring analysis on data with data analytics algorithms and/or monitoring algorithms, the first edge device is configured to receive sensed data related to a characteristic of a heating element of the probe from a sensor of the probe through a first communication interface and perform prognostic health monitoring analysis on the sensed data with the processor unit to produce a first data output;
• a coordinator in communication with the first edge device and configured to receive the first data output from the first edge device through a second communication interface and to incorporate the first data output into a data package capable of being shared via a data gateway;
• a cloud infrastructure in communication with the coordinator via the data gateway and configured to analyze the data package using an implemented cloud-hosted prognostic health monitoring data analytics application to estimate a remaining useful life and predict a failure of the probe to allow timely replacement of the probe to be scheduled based on the remaining useful life of the probe;
• and
• a ground station in communication with the cloud infrastructure and configured to refine remaining useful life estimation and failure prediction techniques of the system by accessing data stored in the cloud infrastructure to perform additional analysis using advanced prognostic health monitoring algorithms.
