ARPPAS is a web based software application that provides a unified, transparent engineering and logistics data environment for use in composite aircraft part maintenance. It will, for the first time, inject high powered engineering analysis tools into the aircraft repair environment, and assemble the information gathered into datasets and formats readily accessed and used by engineering, for evaluation of repair trends and detection of needed design modifications, and by program managers and logistics analysts, to assess logistics needs and fleet aircraft support requirements based on the frequency and types of repairs experienced over time.

ARPPAS automatically recalls part histories, provide engineering drawings showing that history, performs structural analysis of the individual parts with their unique histories, and reports the results to users, all without any specialized knowledge on the part of the user. This allows for easily accessible birth-to-death repair and maintenance records of all aircraft. As a result fleet management can quickly and accurately review who performed and evaluated maintenance and repairs, as well as when and where the work was done, and what specific work was performed.
