How can variables be measured in environments that are too hot, too cold, or moving too fast for traditional circuit-based sensors? A new technology for obtaining multiple, real-time measurements under extreme environmental conditions is being developed under Phase 1 and 2 funding contracts from NASA's Kennedy Space Center’s Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program. Opportunities for early deployment licensing and Phase 3 STTR contracts are now being accepted.
Passive, remote measuring systems can be created using new Orthogonal Frequency Code (OFC) multiplexing techniques and specially developed, next-generation SAW sensors. As a result, very cost-effective applications such as spaceflight sensing (for instance, temperature, pressure, or acceleration monitoring), remote cryogenic fluid level sensing, or an almost limitless number of other rigorous monitoring applications are possible.

TOPIC
NEED & CUSTOMER REQUIREMENT SBIR TOPIC: N07-195 Land Mobile Satellite Communications
Need: USSTRATCOM requirement for improved communications Improved Mathematical and Simulation Methods for Stressed
analysis and planning capabilities for both the SATCOM and other Environments
transport systems.
SPONSORSHIP: SPAWAR System Center – Pacific
Value to the Warfighter: Improved battlefield communications
TRANSITION TARGET: PEO-Space and USARSTRAT
Operational Gap: Current SATCOM Planners do not address
interactions between dissimilar wireless systems. As such, they are CONTRACT: Open contract N66001-09-C-0093 ending 4/21/2013
vulnerable to unanticipated interference.
