Etegent Technologies Ltd., formerly SDL, a high-tech, research and development company, today announced that it has been awarded two Phase I SBIR research contracts from the Naval Air Warfare Center in Patuxent River, Md. The projects include the progress of low cost, dual function, control and diagnostic sensors for aircraft turbine engines and the development of robust pressure transducers for aircraft turbine engine control systems. In addition to the two new contracts, Etegent is also presently working on three additional SBIR projects with the U.S. Navy, with a Phase II SBIR deal focused on the progress of a computerized tool for exposure aircraft damage and queuing and viewing repairs.
For the indicative sensors project, Etegent will show the likelihood of a new sensor suite model that can sense pressure, temperature and vibration in an aircraft turbine engine, and incorporate self diagnosis/performance verification and IEEE 1451.4 Standard for Transducer Electronic Data Sheets capability. This project is supported by the Joint Strike Fighter and PMA-0261, H-53 Heavy Lift Helicopter programs.
As part of the transducers project, Etegent will influence its existing sensor technology to widen robust pressure sensors that can work reliably in awfully cruel environments such as a turbine engine combustor. The new sensor technology is likely to improve the potential of military and commercial monitoring and control systems.
