MaxUp® ORDAIN's digital twin technology has significantly improved the US Navy's CAD/PAD program by extending ejection seat component life, reducing procurement costs by 59%, and cutting initial investment by 36%, all while enhancing safety and efficiency.
The Issue
The US Navy needed advanced technology for the NACES system after an incident involving the PDRM and the ejection catapult.
High temperatures caused stabilizer depletion, shortening service life.
To address CAD/PAD shortages and maintenance issues, the US Navy asked for CAD/PAD Digital Twin prototypes using stochastic modeling for CBM.
The Solution
Patented Solution: Lone Star developed a patented digital twin solution called MaxUp® ORDAIN.
MaxUp® ORDAIN: Deployed for the F/A-18 ejection seat, uses digital twins to integrate RCM with CBM.
Streamlines Process: The solution enables secure, service life analysis, and aids in procurement, inventory management
The Results
Extends Service Life: MaxUp® ORDAIN significantly enhances the Navy’s CAD/PAD program by extending the service life of critical components.
Reduces Cost: Reduces annual procurement costs by 59% and initial investment costs by 36%.
No Sensors Needed: The sensorless Digital Twin technology streamlines the schedule by eliminating the need for sensor installations.
Safety and Readiness Improved: It improves readiness, safety, and efficiency while supporting the Navy’s extensive lifecycle management responsibilities.
