Utilities Management System

Utilities Management System

The IS&S Utilities Management System (UMS) is an open architecture modular system for use in part 23/25 aircraft and helicopter platforms. The UMS monitors aircraft sensors, controls aircraft systems and is scalable to meet the requirements of any aircraft. This allows the aircraft manufacturer configuration capabilities through table based configuration files supporting parameter modifications and simple control algorithms that eliminate the need for costly software updates and recertification efforts.

The UMS acts as the aircraft central maintenance computer allowing for a maximum of six (6) units to be included in the communication ring. The system provides a significant power and weight saving over the use of federated boxes and utilizes the latest IS&S technological advancements in avionics circuit design.

Features:
  • Controls 20+ independent federated systems
  • Versatile unit that monitors aircraft sensors and controls aircraft actuators
  • Allows OEM to configure and program specific applications
Benefits:
  • Weight savings
  • Reduced power consumption
  • Less wire clutter
  • Improved redundancy
