Abstract
A method and apparatus are present for monitoring a platform. Information from monitoring the platform is received from a sensor network and a number of systems associated with the platform. A plurality of observations is formed from the information. A profile is created from the plurality of observations in which the profile is used to monitor the platform.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a sensor network associated with a platform in which the sensor network is configured to monitor health of the platform;
- a number of systems associated with the platform in which the number of systems and the sensor network are configured to provide information for the platform;
- and
- a computer system connected to the sensor network and the number of systems in which the computer system is configured to receive the information, process the information to form a plurality of observations from the information, and create a current profile from the plurality of observations and the information in which the current profile is used to identify a health state for the platform.

A system for monitoring health of a platform, the system comprising:
- a sensor network associated with the platform;
- a number of systems associated with the platform, wherein the number of systems and the sensor network are configured to provide information for the platform;
- and
- a computer system associated with the platform in which the computer system is in communication with the sensor network and the number of systems and is configured to receive the information from the sensor network and the number of systems associated with the platform, process the information to form a plurality of observations from the information, group the plurality of observations into a number of groups based on similarities between observations in the plurality of observations to form a current profile, compare the current profile to a number of known profiles to form a comparison, and identify a health state of the platform using the comparison.
