Application Software

Overview

This technology area focuses on development of special application predictive tools by integrating our processes and COTS software (e.g., SPISE, UNIPASS, ModelProbe, and DistributionProbe) with our client’s processes and tools. For example, under a contract from United States Air Force, PredictionProbe successfully developed an object-oriented, flexible, scalable, and customizable tool for condition-based aircraft post-inspection reliability analysis, namely, APIRA™ within the SPISE® Platform. The main features of APIRA™ include:

• The ability to define an unlimited number of inspections, repair conditions, and non-repair conditions, probabilities of detection (PODs) and their related input variables;
• The ability to predict inspection time based upon an acceptable level of single flight probability of failure; and
• Bayesian updating of effective initial damage size based on whether or not cracks were found at: the inspection of a single aircraft in multiple locations; and/or multiple inspections of multiple aircrafts with different flight hours, at the same time or at different time; and more.
