Abstract
The implementation into service of accelerometric health monitoring systems of mechanical power drives on helicopters has shown that the generation of false failure alarms is a critical issue. The paper presents a combined application of several multivariate statistical techniques and shows how a monitoring method which integrates these tools can be successfully exploited in order to improve the reliability of the diagnos- tic systems. The first phase of the research activity was ad- dressed to exploring the potential advantages of using multi- variate classification/discrimination/anomaly detection methods on real world accelerometric condition monitoring data. The second phase consisted of an implementation into actual service of an innovative integrated multivariate health monitoring system.
