TECHNICAL ABSTRACT (Limit 2000 characters, approximately 200 words)
A long-term center goal at NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center (SSC) is the formulation and implementation of a framework for an intelligent rocket test facility (IRTF). The IRTF is to provide reliable, high-confidence measurements for a variety of propulsion test articles. Smart sensor components play key roles in providing the distributed intelligence needed to perform diagnosis of its overall health and to further develop the Integrated System Health Management (ISHM), which has been identified as a key component to design exploration systems for the mission to go back to the Moon and explore Mars. Requirements to achieve this mission include improvements in safety, life-cycle costs, and autonomous operation of exploration systems. The objective of the Phase II effort is to complete the development of the sensor fusion based on the architecture that was presented in Phase I. Specifically, we intend to succeed in: (1) Providing health condition monitoring capability at the intelligent transceiver; (2) Providing analytic and diagnostic intelligence at the intelligent transceiver; (3) Enhancing IEEE 1451.x based standard for sensor data management and distributions; (4) Providing appropriate communications protocols to enable complex interactions to support timely and high quality flow of information among the system elements.
POTENTIAL NASA COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS (Limit 1500 characters, approximately 150 words)
Health-enabled smart sensor fusion technology has a big application for RFID industry. Intelligent transceiver has the potential to adjust its operating frequency spectrum to short-range wireless technology with flexible data transmission rates. It is applicable for the following: (1) Growth area of automatic identification and data capture; (2) Lower cost transponders offering multi-read and receiving voice and text-based messaging; (3) Read/write electronic storage; (4) Identification and communication smart badge for voice and test messaging; (5) Road Transport and Traffic Telematics; (6) Transport Information and Control Systems; (7) Home control; (8) Energy management for cost saving; (9) Security (intruder detection); (10) Safety (sensing); (11) Utility remote meter reading; (12) Building automation systems real-time monitoring and control of security and surveillance systems, alarms, HVAC, etc., (13) Manufacturing and distribution industrial automation using RFID; (14) Health care wireless monitoring.
POTENTIAL NON-NASA COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS (Limit 1500 characters, approximately 150 words)
"Health-enabled smart sensor fusion" is a state-of-the-art technology offering wide ranges of capabilities for data sensing, condition monitoring, and acquisitions. This device will offer great opportunities to NASA for distributed sensor applications. The device when integrates with intelligent process it is powerful for remote sensing and monitoring control across many heterogeneous networks. The technology has the following NASA applications: Test Facilities and Test Article; Integrated System Health management (ISHM); Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) for Aviation Safety Program; Advanced Control Technology - Fundamental Aeronautics Test Program; Earth science applications; Field communications device for spatial data input, manipulation and distribution: Intelligent Rocket Test Facilities (IRTF) with smart sensor elements, measurement, and field verification applications; Sensing and monitoring for Aircraft - icing on wings - data from heaters and sensors and Aircraft emissions - collection of data around airports; Verification and validation of equipment (e.g., RFID); System Diagnosis and Prognosis.
NASA's technology taxonomy has been developed by the SBIR-STTR program to disseminate awareness of proposed and awarded R/R&D in the agency. It is a listing of over 100 technologies, sorted into broad categories, of interest to NASA.
