Traditional monitoring technologies often fall short in the demanding aerospace environment, for example within advanced composite materials. Whether dealing with constraints in dimensional limitations, extreme operating conditions, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues, or the imperative for lightweight structures, conventional systems may not meet your needs.
Why Fiber Optic Sensing in Aerospace?
EMI-immune sensors enable precise measurements in EMC environments
Enabling multiple sensing points with one single small fiber
Easy to install with much fewer cabling and smaller size sensors
Application
PhotonFirst has experience in successfully applying FBG sensor technology on space launchers, civil aircrafts, military drones and across multiple military rotorcraft platforms.
The optical fiber becomes the sensor with FBG-based technology
Fiber optic sensors use light signals to detect various physical properties by observing changes in the light as it travels through the fiber. These changes can be due to temperature, pressure, strain, or other environmental factors.
Achievements
In flight validation of technology
Closing loop between Air Force and OEM
Maintenance optimization and MIL-STD-3063 compliance
High speed data transfer (MIL-STD-1553)
