Provision of Support for the Wear Debris Management System

Wear Debris Management System This is a Windows forms application which is used to support the end to end Wear Debris Analysis (WDA) process, as applied to military aircraft. WDMS supports the registration of samples, the recording of analysis results and the dissemination of advice and recommendations relating to air safety and the continuing airworthiness of aircraft subject to monitoring. WDMS also includes a web application, used by aircraft operators to remotely register samples on to the system. This is accessible by MoD users through the Defence Information Infrastructure portal. The centralized database enables access to all Wear Debris Analysis information from anywhere on the MoD's internal network. The system provides a standard way of submitting and reporting WDA information across all aircraft platforms. The information collected is used for reviewing aircraft engine and transmission systems with a view to monitoring fault trends and improving system reliability.
