Back Advanced Sensor Systems and System Dynamic Identification for Naval Aviation Systems T&E and Health Management

Fiscal Year 2010
Division Graduate School of Engineering & Applied Science
Department Systems Engineering
Investigator(s) Millar, Richard C.
Sponsor Naval Air Systems Command (Navy)
Summary The general objective of the proposed research is the development of technologies enabling enhanced weapon system health management. Three subsidiary objectives that are addressed by the proposer research are: a) Robust sensors for application in extreme environments exposed to high temperature, pressure, vibration and shock. b) Open system instrumentation/sensor systems reducing the cost & time for weapon system development & qualification test. c) Methods for assessing the dynamic characteristics (system identification) of weapon systems and their critical control components. Dr. Millar has been working over the past couple of years with the Joint Strike Fighter Joint Program Office (JSF JPO) to advance these technologies by proposing SBIR topics, assessing proposals and as Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) guiding project implementation. JSF JPO has requested that Dr. Millar continue his efforts in the role of TPOC for up to six impending SBIR contracts, plus assisting in the program reviews, proposal evaluations and planning for these projects.
