1. A fuse monitoring system for monitoring a fuse, the system comprising:
a fuse monitoring assembly comprising:
at least one sensor configured to measure fuse data associated with the fuse, the fuse data including operational data of the fuse and environmental data corresponding to an environment in which the fuse is located, the environmental data including data associated with shock and vibrations; and
at least one processor communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor, the at least one processor configured to transmit the fuse data to a remote computing device; and
a fuse monitoring computing device positioned remotely from the fuse monitoring assembly, the fuse monitoring computing device comprising at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device, the fuse monitoring computing device being programmed to:
receive, from the fuse monitoring assembly, the fuse data;
determine an estimated remaining fuse service life of the fuse by analyzing the fuse data using a combination of a physics model and a machine-learning model; and
generate a fuse message based on the analysis.
