MONITORING OF THERMAL PROTECTION SYSTEMS USING ROBUST SELF-ORGANIZING OPTICAL FIBER SENSING NETWORKS STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEMS ARE ENVISAGED TO PROVIDE TWO CRITICALLY IMPORTANT CAPABILITIES FOR THE HEALTH MONITORING OF FUTURE AEROSPACE VEHICLES: DETECTING STRUCTURAL DAMAGE AND PERFORMING COMPREHENSIVE STRUCTURAL MONITORING. THIS OVERALL GOAL OF THIS STATEMENT OF WORK IS TO BRING TOGETHER IN A CONSISTENT TOPOLOGY, TECHNOLOGICAL APPROACHES DEVELOPED BY NASA DRYDEN FLIGHT RESEARCH CENTER (DFRC) AND AUSTRALIA'S COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH ORGANISATION (CSIRO) IN AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM DEMONSTRATION ON LARGE SCALE AEROSPACE VEHICLE STRUCTURES. INNOVATIVE CONCEPTS BASED ON TECHNOLOGIES BEING DEVELOPED BY CSIRO THROUGH PREVIOUS CONTRACTS WITH NASA WILL BE APPLIED IN CONJUNCTION WITH RESEARCH CONDUCTED BY NASA DRYDEN IN A MULTI-PHASED, MULTI-YEAR INDEFINITE DELIVERY INDEFINITE QUANTITY (IDIQ) CONTRACT. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY IS TO DEVELOP AND DEMONSTRATE A STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM FOR THERMAL PROTECTION SYSTEMS (TPS) THAT INCORPORATES PIEZOELECTRIC ACOUSTIC EMISSION (AE) SENSORS TO DETECT THE OCCURRENCE AND LOCATION OF DAMAGING IMPACTS, AND AN OPTICAL FIBER BRAGG GRATING (FBG) SENSOR NETWORK TO EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF DETECTED DAMAGE ON THE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF THE TPS MATERIAL. A FBG IS A TYPE OF BRAGG REFLECTOR CONSTRUCTED IN A SHORT SEGMENT OF OPTICAL FIBER THAT REFLECTS PARTICULAR WAVELENGTHS OF LIGHT AND TRANSMITS ALL OTHERS. THE FBG SENSOR NETWORK IS USED TO EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF DETECTED DAMAGE ON THE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF THE TPS MATERIAL. THE SOW DEFINES A FIVE-YEAR PROJECT THAT IS TO OCCUR IN LOGICAL SEQUENCE OF MATURATION THAT INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING PHASES. 1.0 DEVELOPMENT AND PROTOTYPE DEMONSTRATION TESTING 2.0 LABORATORY/BENCH-TOP DEMONSTRATION TESTING 3.0 LARGE-SCALE GROUND TEST DEMONSTRATION 4.0 FLIGHT DEMONSTRATION TESTING. 4.1. FLIGHT SYSTEM QUALIFICATION INTEGRATION 4.2. FLIGHT TESTING
