Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) UAV are increasingly being deployed for Long-duration intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR). Communication relay maritime surveillance and strategic defence missions Reliability and availability of propulsion systems are critical for mission success because piston-engine failures during flight may lead to mission abort, asset loss, or unsafe recovery conditions. Conventional engine monitoring systems used in UAVs are primarily thresholdbased and r

Develop an adaptable and modular digital Twin System for an aero piston engine used in MALE UAV applications. The system shall create a real-time virtual representation of the engine by integrating. • Engine sensor data • Thermodynamic behavior models • Engine performance maps • Failure/degradation logit • AI/ML based predictive analytics The proposed system should be that can: • Real-time engine parameter visualization • Monitoring of engine health indicators • Defection of abnormal operating conditions • Predicting probable failures before occurrence • Estimating degradation trends and Remaining Useful Life (RUL) • Simulating engine behavior under different mission profiles and environmental conditions • Supporting post-flight analysis and mission replay The system may utilize • CAN bus/
