Duh. My shop was doing that in the 80's. We reduced all scheduled maintenance to either a monthly basis or weekly basis. If a site experienced harsh weather we would visit the site to see if any degradation of equipment occurred especially cabling as it us your weakest link. This is why we had no Red Time on our search radar or IFF'S.

..."The Army is also beginning to use 3D digital designs to address predictive maintenance and weighing how to use artificial intelligence, for instance, to enhance the capability, according to O’Connor, including developing digital twins of its current fleet of aircraft.
“That is to really to get a digital engineering footprint of the design items and then use some physics-based modeling and stress modeling to really predict fatigue life on components,” he said."
