This year, HUMS2025 registration includes access to three Conferences under the AIAC21 umbrella:

• The 21^st Australian Aeronautical Conference (AAC)
  
  more infoThis conference brought together aeronautical professionals and students from across the region and internationally to participate in a high-quality technical program coupled with excellent networking and learning opportunities. Day three included a morning technical session and a self-guided afternoon at the Avalon International Airshow where delegates capitalised on exhibitors, and static and flying displays.
  
  
• The 18^th National Space Engineering Symposium (NSES)
  
  more infoThe Australian space sector is undergoing tremendous growth and space engineering lies at the heart of delivering this growth. With the 18th NSES included in AIAC21, delegates took the opportunity to share and hear about the latest developments in space engineering.
  
  
• The 14^th International Conference on Health and Usage Monitoring (HUMS2025)
  
  more infoFeaturing health and usage monitoring and management for aircraft and land and marine vehicles, this biennial international conference brought together industry, academia, Defence and user communities to discuss the latest developments, research and applications.
  This is us :)

The Conferences run concurrently on both Day 1 & 2 (Mon 24^th March–Tue 25^th March) in Melbourne Australia.

All registrations also include complimentary access to AVALON2025, the Avalon International Airshow—Aerospace & Defence Exposition on Day 3 (Wed 26^th March) at Avalon. AIRSHOW2025 (public airshow) was the following weekend.

The HUMS Conference Dinner sponsored by ETMC is always a highlight of the Conference, is to be on day one and available free to the first registered HUMS delegates until sponsored tickets are all allotted.

Our main sponsor ETMC Technologies is also to provide additional sponsorship to cover the registration of five PhD students attending HUMS2025. PhD students who are interested in attending HUMS2025 can send their bids to the HUMS2025 Committee by email to dstg.HUMSConference@defence.gov.au with your resume and preferably the abstract of your paper/presentation.

Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea provided.

HUMS2025 DATA CHALLENGE — NOW RUNNING!

A new Data Challenge for HUMS2025 is now on. We are using a dataset generated from the Bell 206B‑1 (Kiowa) main rotor gearbox test program in our Helicopter Transmission Test Facility (HTTF) at DSTG Melbourne. This time the challenge is about a rare failure mode where a fatigue crack has propagated within the gearbox casing. A vibration dataset was provided to registered participants to work out the best method for detecting and trending the propagation of the casing crack.
The details at HUMS20205 Data Challenge.

A Companion post-HUMS2025 MCM Workshop in Melbourne

The University of New South Wales Workshop on Machine Condition Monitoring runs conveniently in Melbourne right after HUMS2025. See the Condition Monitoring Workshop Flyer for details.

PAPERS

All our available past papers are found at the Past Papers section.

For the announcement of the 2023 Best Paper, and of the HUMS Data Challenge Winners, see the archived HUMS2023 page.

Helicopter Main Rotor Gearbox Planet Gear Fatigue Crack Propagation Test Data Released to public on 12 July 2023!

This includes more data than was original HUMS2023 Data Challenge dataset, and it is now conditionally available to everyone. A second update was also released in March 2024.

About HUMS Conference

The DSTG series of HUMS conferences commenced in 1999 at Fisherman's Bend, Melbourne, Australia, and is an established biennial international event featuring health and usage monitoring and management for aircraft (fixed wing, helicopters and unmanned aerial systems), land vehicles, marine vehicles, and other mechanical equipment. The conference brings together industry, academia, Defence and user communities to discuss the latest developments, research and applications.

Increasingly, platform health, at the sub-system, system or fleet level, is being managed using Condition Monitoring, Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM), prognostic or predictive maintenance approaches. All these practices rely on health management systems providing data and information for decision support, for mission assurance, availability, and safety of critical and high-value assets.
