Digital Aviation Records System (DARS) Project

This proposal is to conduct applied research to support the development and implementation of the Digital Aviation Records System (DARS). The goal of DARS is to digitally transform aviation operational support systems. Despite the advanced technology on the flight deck and the innovative engineering that is used in modern aircraft, the operational support systems (the highest value being maintenance) are based on outdated, largely paper-based systems that are inefficient, open to fraud and inhibit the use of data. To realize the vision of DARS, the journey needs to start with making it easy to capture data with digital workflow applications (DWAs) that replace paper processes. Having captured the data DARS must interface with legacy, siloed ERP maintenance systems avoiding the need to replace these systems. Last, DARS needs to achieve critical mass of acceptance from multiple stakeholders in order to act as a source of immutable data on aviation assets and ev
