Condition-Based Maintenance Plus

What it actually means

The DoD's program for maintaining equipment based on its actual measured condition — sensor data, usage history, prognostics — instead of fixed calendar or hour intervals. The "plus" adds the enabling infrastructure: data systems, analytics, and process changes, not just sensors on the hardware.

Where you'll meet it

Sustainment strategies and logistics planning documents, especially for aviation and vehicles.
