Description
Intelligent Optical Systems (IOS) proposes to continue adapting and maturing its recently developed intrinsically safe hypergolic leak detection technology, based on its well-established optical sensing techniques, for a modular liquid hypergolic propulsion (LHP) leak detection sensor. IOS has identified stable and sensitive colorimetric indicators for monomethylhydrazine (MMH) and nitrogen oxides (MON25), and will adapt them for an optical LHP leak detection transducer module. This optical leak detection transducer module will exhibit sensitivity levels, response time, miniaturization, power consumption, lifetime, and ruggedness against shock and vibration that comply with missile storage, transportation, operation, and safety requirements. Phase I demonstrated the optical sensor components, and identified operational characteristics and requirements for system design. Approved for Public Release 14-MDA-7739 (18 March 14).
