The high degree of integration of systems/subsystems in modern weapon system design opens totally new opportunities for Aircraft or Helicopter Monitoring Systems. It is however indispensable, to take the objectives of such monitoring systems into account from the very beginning of the design. Not only the System Design Responsible, but also the Vendors/ Suppliers of components must be aware of the goals of such a system. Further the architecture of the envisaged monitoring system is of utmost importance for all "contributors" to the monitoring system. In "distributed" systems all components need to possess a distinct Build-in-test capability, so that the computing unit of the monitoring system is only supplied with preprocessed data and will not be "overflowed" with raw data. In the NH90 the requirements for an integrated Monitoring and Diagnostic System (MOS) form an important part of the Weapon System Development Specification and are treated in the overall responsibility of Integrated Logistic Support (ILS). The MOS concept is based on an evolution of the present "On-Condition" Maintenance Philosophy. This evolution shall guarantee avoidance of failures as far as feasible, while existing monitoring systems are focused on the event of a failure. Only with steady trend- and in-flight- diagnosis can the H/C grant this quality and such meet the requirements of the Customer. The paper states the Customer requirements in the first part. The Contractors approach and envisaged solutions for a "new generation" MOS form part two of this paper.
