Officials say 107 of the company's JetSCAN units are now deployed or currently being installed in more than 18 countries around the world. DS&S, a subsidiary of Rolls-Royce, says the high level of use by air force units including the U.S. Air Force and Navy among others in the aerospace market, shows the growing importance of reliable aircraft engine monitoring production processes.

By using diagnostic software, officials say JetSCAN analyzes aircraft engine oil debris that provides comprehensive engine health data that offers technicians the ability to keep the engine operating properly.

"The bearings and gearboxes of a modern gas turbine are under enormous stress, and the results of failure can lead to expensive maintenance and disruption to operations or worse," John Clinton, DS&S JetSCAN system program director, said in a statement.

"The JetSCAN system's unique predictive capability enables the operator to improve on-wing life while reducing the risk of in-service failures. It enables the user to see increasing risk and remove an engine from service before a failure can occur. We've had proven success in military programs, reducing the number of in-flight shutdowns."
