Description
Fly-byWireless
Wi-Testbed
Testbeds to evaluate protocols for critical communications with airborne applications
Wi-Engine
Replace the wiring harness and sensors currently used for engine monitoring with a
wireless system that reduces the wire, wire connectors, wire holds, weight, component
volume, system cost and maintenance cost.
Wi-SHM
In-situ SHM of thick laminate composite structures
Wi-Sense
Address the need for passive wireless thermal, acceleration, and acoustic emission
sensors for structural health monitoring. This includes the distribution of sensor networks
and the necessity for large quantities of sensors for testing and monitoring large
structures
