RMCI, Inc. offers advanced health and usage monitoring systems, or HUMS. The Expandable Rotorcraft Diagnostic System or XRDS is RMCI’s next-generation HUMS. It is a “made in the USA” leading-edge technology that ensures a high quality of safety and improved aircraft availability. The use of RMCI’s technology will also enhance the ability of the UH-1 operator to accomplish their mission with reduced costs and increased safety.
“The XRDS is extremely lightweight and currently installed on 14 different types of helicopters and fixed wing aircraft,” said Kenneth Speaks RMCI, CEO. “RMCI is pleased to contribute to the UH1 industry, their safety and economic prosperity.”
The XRDS enables flight data monitoring for Flight Operations Quality Assurance, or FOQA; provides comprehensive mechanical diagnostics of the entire drivetrain of the aircraft; and supports maintenance functions such as engine vibration checks and rotor track and balance. RMCI’s equipment accurately detects emerging problems well in advance to prevent mission interruption, collateral damage of components, and other possible incidents.
