Etegent Technologies, Ltd., (formally Sheet Dynamics Ltd) has been awarded a research contract by the Naval Air Warfare center in Patuxent River, MD to develop low cost, dual purpose, control and diagnostic sensors for aircraft turbine engines.
Under this Phase I SBIR project, Etegent will demonstrate feasibility of a new sensor suite concept which can sense pressure, temperature and vibration, and incorporates both self diagnosis/performance verification and IEEE 1451.4 Standard for Transducer Electronic Data Sheets (TEDS) capability. This project is supported by both the Joint Strike Fighter and PMA-0261, H-53 Heavy Lift Helicopter programs.
