1. A method for monitoring a vehicle-borne probe, the method comprising:
receiving, by a first edge device in communication with the probe, sensed data related to a characteristic of a heating element of the probe;
analyzing, via prognostic health monitoring functions of a first application of the first edge device, the sensed data to generate a first data output;
receiving, by a coordinator in communication with the first edge device, the first data output, and incorporating the first data output into a data package;
receiving, by a cloud infrastructure in communication with the coordinator, the data package via a data gateway;
analyzing, by one of the cloud infrastructure and a ground station, the data package to estimate a remaining useful life and a failure of the probe; and
scheduling a timely replacement of the probe based on the remaining useful life of the probe.
