Wireless Sensors Systems for On-Board Aircraft Health Monitoring

DSR proposes development of a methodology for the utilization of information from mission objectives and a wide variety of platform, sensor and intelligence databases to effectively adapt tactical shipboard sensor resources to a dynamically changingtactical environment and to increase the time available to develop appropriate responses to changes in the tactical environment.The overall objective of the proposed research is for Digital System Resources, working closely with Navy fleet representatives,to establish and validate a baseline understanding of the current Navy EW mission planning concept of operations, associated requirements, data sources dependencies, and existing system capabilities. The result of this research is intended to form thebasis for successful execution of development and production of an EW mission planning component applicable to both current and future Electronic Warfare Systems. Specifically, the results will identify methods to allow the user to visualize theanticipated environment and allow for adaptation of system resources based on the intelligence gathered.Provide mission planning requirements and prototype mission planning displays. The Phase II plan will specifically target integrating the approach intoa state-of-the-art system for demonstration. Potential commercial applications for situation awareness visualization techniques, integrated database analysis tools and tools that allow the user to develop rules to optimize system resources.
