Auton Lab work to be briefed to the US Senate Armed Services Committee on Nov 20, 2020

[Artur Dubrawski]

Dear Autonians,

It will be a privilege for Kyle and I to participate in the upcoming
briefing of our PMx (Predictive Maintenance) Team's work on modeling health
of the Blackhawk helicopter engines to this important Senate committee. It
is another token of recognition of the impact the Auton Lab research
can have when fielded into the real world.

The particular tool, whose development has been led by Dr. Kyle Miller,
analyses various data elements measured in-flight to predict overheating of
engines during subsequent attempts to start them. It has been developed
here at the CMU Auton Lab, and field tested, validated, integrated and put
to regular use by one of the US Army aviation regiments. It helps warn
technical ground crews of imminent failures before they actually happen and
enables pre-emptive fixing of the underlying problems, to reduce equipment
downtime and the costs of operations, while improving flight safety.

Big contrats to Kyle and the whole Auton PMx team!

Cheers,
Artur
