Description

A Phase I / Phase II success would open the door for a new"high fidelity"distributed line sensor with measurement and range capabilities exceeding most known structures. This will directly support Naval applications in physical test labs, leading to deployment on field assets. This technology will also be applicable to Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) where large strains and high dynamics are involved, as there is no known equivalent. Regarding the Dual-Use application of"interferometric interrogation"the field is also ripe and suited for immediate adoption. This SBIR development effort will significantly extend the capabilities existing commercial offerings, which are currently in use for a wide range of physical sensing applications.
