Abstract :
A new initiative was started to address Department of Defense safety and affordable readiness for legacy turbine engines. By using the GOTChA/ApPRoVal methods, a baseline research plan was established that is based on prognostics and health management. This paper outlines the decision process, investment strategy, projected return on investment, validation, and transition strategies
