Description

Cartridge Actuated Devices/ Propellant Actuated Devices (CAD/PAD) Digital Twin Modeling will develop and validate models and algorithms for the Department of the Navy (DoN). Digital Twin is a software model that predicts service life of a components’ energetic material. This will be used to move towards a Condition Based Maintenance Model vice restrictive service life. The development will be phased over three efforts, specific to Navy AirCrew Common Ejection Seats (NACES). These models will be used as a starting point for a condition-based service life for CAD/PAD. A condition-based service life will result in long term cost savings for the DoN by enabling CAD/PAD to be installed for full useful service life. These models will also be used to support initial service life decisions, service life extension decisions and address obsolescence.
