NEW RELIABILITY, SUPPORTABILITY, AND HEALTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS GROUP CREATED
A new Reliability, Supportability, and Health Management
Systems Group has been formed to expand on the synergistic
relationship between Integrated Vehicle Health Management
(IVHM) and condition-based maintenance (CBM) and enable a
close coordination of standards related to health management,
reliability and maintenance.

*	 G-11R Reliability

This new Systems Group is comprised of the following
committees:

Rhonda Walthall, Manager of Prognostics and Health
Management, United Technologies Aerospace Systems agreed
to serve as the inaugural Chair. Ms. Walthall is also the current
chair of the SAE IVHM Steering Group.

*	 G-11M Maintainability, Supportability and Logistics
*	 G-11PM Probabilistic Methods Technology

*	 AISC-SHM Aerospace Industry Steering Committee on
Structural Health Monitoring
*	 E-32 Aerospace Propulsion Systems Health Management
*	 HM-1 Integrated Vehicle Health Management

NEW G-28 COMMITTEE TO DEVELOP AIRCRAFT ARTIFICIAL BIRD STRIKE TESTING STANDARDS
The recently-established SAE G-28 Committee, Simulants for
Impact and Ingestion Testing, held its first meeting August
31 - September 1 at SAE International's World Headquarters in
Warrendale, PA.
This committee will establish global industry standards
standards for the manufacture of artificial simulants (e.g.
artificial birds) for the purposes of development and
certification testing of structures and engines for bird strike
testing. The committee will define test requirements for
approval of artificial stimulants, provide means of correlation
of artificial stimulant test results with real object test results,
and substantiate and define manufacturing procedures for
artificial stimulants and the guidelines for their usage.
All aerospace companies are faced with the issue of certification
for bird strikes. Traditionally, company-specific artificial birds
have been used to achieve initial development of design. The
differing construction and performance criteria used by various
organizations often have subtle differences and are viewed as
proprietary, creating confusion and a lack of clarity.
The G-28 committee's initial project will focus the manufacture
of artificial birds of varying sizes. The committee will work in

conjunction with defense agencies and regulatory authorities
to ensure that the standards developed will meet regulatory
requirements for certification testing. Julian Reed, Engineering
Fellow - Impact, Rolls-Royce Plc, serves as the committee chair.
