| Abstract: |
The objective of the proposed work is to develop and demonstrate an open systems solution to the problem of interfacing electronic controls to actuators in extreme environments in air vehicles. The main objectives of the Phase I effort is to develop and demonstrate the capabilities of a generic electronic interface module for actuators operating around 400 degrees F. In order to avoid the cost of developing a family of custom modules for interfacing with each type of actuator and sensor, our concept involves a generic module that can be reconfigured to interface with a large class of actuators and sensors using the available families of High Temperature electronic components. |
| Benefits: |
The Generic Electronic Module developed under this SBIR will have direct application to actuation and sensor electronics for air vehicle propulsion and flight control systems. The module also has industrial applications where extreme environments for controls and monitoring are a common challenge, such as in the steel industry and petroleum exploration industry. |
