Real-time Distributed Detection of Damage to Shipboard Fluid Networks Using Enhanced Smart Valve Technology

The primary technical objective is the development of an optimized smart valve-based damage detection system design for shipboard automated fire suppresion systems. This optimized design will be realized through research and development efforts in two areas. First is the continued development of non-deterministic smart valve sensor models, and second is the development of enhanced damage detection algorithms that execute at the both at the low-level (device-level) tier and at the mid-level tier of a shipboard engineering control system.
