FIFTEEN HONORED WITH THE 2014 JAMES M. CRAWFORD TECHNICAL STANDARDS BOARD
OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
SAE International honored this November 15 mobility engineering
professionals with the 2014 James M. Crawford Technical
Standards Board Outstanding Achievement Award.
The award recognizes individuals for outstanding service in
the technical committee activities of the Society. This includes
valuable contributions to the work of SAE International technical
committees, unusual leadership in the activities of an SAE
International technical committee, significant contributions as a
representative of the Society to the accomplishments of technical
committees of other organizations or of government agencies,
and outstanding contributions to SAE International technical
committee work in the form of research, test methods and
procedures, and/or development of standards.
Established in 1953, the award honors James Crawford, who

was SAE International President in 1945 and donated money to
establish the James M. Crawford Fund. In 2013, the award name
was changed to the James M. Crawford Technical Standards
Board Outstanding Achievement Award. 2014 SAE Aerospace
Council award winners included:
* John D'Avirro, Director of Aviation Services, APS Aviation,
G-12 Aircraft Ground Deicing Committee

CHALLENGES OF ELECTRONIC PARTS AND THEIR IMPACTS ON CONSUMER AND INDUSTRIAL
PRODUCTS THE FOCUS OF NEW SAE BOOK
Electronic parts are used throughout industry to run everyday
products, such as cell phones, and also highly technical products,
such as aircraft, missiles, and spacecraft. SAE International's new
book, "Counterfeit Electronic Parts and Their Impact on Supply
Chains," examines how counterfeit parts are negatively affecting
the aviation, spacecraft, and defense sectors and what can be
done about it.
Unlike cell phones, which are often replaced every year, the
highly technical products may remain in service from 20 to
more than 80 years. But what happens if the original electronic
part, with a life cycle of 18 months, is no longer available? Some
manufacturers have discovered that they have unwittingly
purchased counterfeit ones.
As the inflow of counterfeit electronic parts does not appear
to be slowing down, "Counterfeit Electronic Parts and Their
Impact on Supply Chains" investigates the possible solutions to
combat the issue, including legislation and standards, and other

solutions that are government driven but that may be impacted
by continuing budget cuts.
Edited by Kirsten M. Koepsel, Chair of the SAE G-19T
Committee, which is developing counterfeit parts terms and
definitions, the book also presents a high-level compilation of
supply chain best practices identified in a survey of electronic
parts manufacturers and government contractors.
With more than 30 years in engineering, production support,
research, environmental, manufacturing assistance and policy,
Koepsel has a unique view when examining the impact of
counterfeits on the supply chain. Her 10 years in the defense
industry involves working in different areas of manufacturing,
including design phase for advanced programs such as the
National Aerospace Plane and floor support for current programs
such as the F-16.

SAE CONTINUES IVHM BOOK SERIES WITH NEW TITLE ON INSIGHTS AND LESSONS LEARNED
SAE International's fourth book in its integrated vehicle health
management series, "Integrated Vehicle Health Management:
Implementation and Lessons Learned," now is available.
Edited by Ian K. Jennions, Professor and Director of the IVHM
Centre, Cranfield University, U.K. and recently elected Vice-Chair
of the SAE IVHM Steering Group, this new book introduces a
variety of case studies, lessons learned, and insights on what it
really means to develop, implement, or manage an integrated
system of systems "Integrated Vehicle Health Management:
Implementation and Lessons Learned" brings to the reader a
wide set of hands-on stories, made possible by the contribution of
twenty-three authors, who agreed to share their experience and
wisdom on how new technologies are developed and put to work.

With 17, fully illustrated chapters, "Integrated
Vehicle Health Management: Implementation
and Lessons Learned," covers diverse areas of
expertise such as the impact of trust, human
factors, and evidential integrity in system
development. They are complemented by
valuable insights on implementing APU
health management, aircraft health trend
monitoring, and the historical perspective
of how rotorcraft HUMS (Health and Usage Monitoring Systems)
opened doors for the adoption of this cutting-edge technology by
the global commercial aviation industry.
