The A7E/TF41 Engine Monitoring System (EMS) is a derivation of the Inflight Engine Condition Monitoring System (IECMS). The IECMS program was initiated in 1971 under US Navy contract to monitor the Detroit Diesel Allison TF41 engine installed in the US Navy A7E attack aircraft. EMS represents the application of an on-board microprocessor-based system to continuously monitor engine health and output appropriate information. The current EMS configuration is the culmination of several phases of system development and evaluation. Full retrofit of the A7E fleet is planned beginning in 1984. This paper describes the present EMS configuration and discusses program development and accomplishments since the system concept was initiated.

This paper describes the development, operation and performance of an automatic engine condition monitoring system by Hamilton Standard Division of United Aircraft. This development is a direct outgrowth of Airborne Integrated Data Systems (AIDS), which have been developed for commercial and military aviation. Application of this technology to an installation at Hartford Electric Light Company’s South Meadow facility led to the development of the system currently being installed at several major utilities and marketed by Hamilton Standard. Field results of the HELCO testing are presented herein. As current installation information becomes available it will be made available to industry.
