US Air Force Selects NLign Analytics to Automate Data Capture

NLign Analytics announces a US Air Force award to provide a streamlined and digital aircraft inspection and repair solution. The program will focus on supporting military A-10 aircraft maintenance activities. 

The program is divided into two phases. During the technical maturation phase, NLign’s NLign NCheck™ application will be refined and configured for use on laptop or tablet to facilitate aircraft maintenance processes.  NCheck provides the ability to document inspection findings and correlate them to 3D computer model locations. A configurable task management feature allows maintenance personnel to view information concerning assigned tasks and link to detailed work instructions. In the program’s second phase, the application will be transitioned for evaluation within the A-10 depot facilities at Hill Air Force Base located near Ogden, Utah.  

NLign Analytics CEO, Tom Sharp comments: “The current A-10 aircraft inspection and repair concept of operations is a labor intensive and largely paper-based reporting process. The objective is to provide a streamlined digital maintenance solution leveraging the NCheck application.  Once deployed, A-10 System Program Office (SPO) and Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC) should see significant manpower savings, better quality data captured, and faster turnaround on structural repair dispositions. This award further demonstrates the US Air Force’s commitment to responsiveness and confidence in NLign to support such initiatives.”
