Smart Wireless Sensor and Subminiature Telemetry System

The proposed program will develop a Wireless Sensor module (WSM) that significantly extends the usability, convenience, and security of the Advanced SubMiniature Telemetry (ASMT) system for airborne testing. The Wireless Sensor addition allows for atotally cable free installation of a modern wireless style sensor and telemetry system featuring greatly improved levels of reliability, spectral efficiency, and cost effectiveness. The system can gather a variety of information, such as acceleration,temperature, pressure, and vibration from anywhere on the aircraft or store under test, without modification of standard aircraft; telemeter it to the ground at ranges up to 50 miles; store large volumes of data on generic PC platforms in IRIG-106 form;maintain previously unachieved levels of reliability, thus saving expensive repeated test missions; avoid suffering from and causing interference to standard upper S band systems; and do so for a small fraction of the cost of currently fielded systems.The reason these large advances are possible is a somewhat obsolete standard in typical telemetry systems that may be hugely improved by use of state-of-the-art wireless techniques and Cleveland Medical Devices' proprietary MicroSynth (TM) technology.
