Bombardier selects Tech Mahindra as supplier for C Series Aircraft’s Health Management System

Bombardier Commercial Aircraft and Tech Mahindra, a specialist in digital transformation, consulting and business re-engineering have signed an agreement under which Tech Mahindra will develop the Aircraft Ground Support System (AGSS) for Bombardier’s Aircraft Health Management System (AHMS) for the C Series family of aircraft. The AGSS will facilitate real-time and post-flight recorded data management, fault notification and diagnostic reporting. By leveraging the large amount of data recorded and transmitted from C Series aircraft, the AHMS will allow operators to make sound decisions on aircraft performance and maintenance. Tech Mahindra’s digital solutions for the AHMS will leverage cutting-edge Cloud Computing, Sensor, Internet of Things (IOT) and Big Data technologies to perform deep analytics of the aircraft’s health status. As previously announced by Bombardier, Pratt & Whitney’s data service system will be the infrastructure unit used to perform data transmissions from the C Series aircraft’s on-board Health Management Unit (HMU) while on the ground.
