Abstract :
This paper describes the development and application of smart sensors, Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) devices and system health management tools, developed at the Honeywell Technology Center, for avionics and mechanical systems. The Honeywell Technology Center has developed systems for Integrated Maintenance/Diagnostics that range from low-level MEMS-based sensing and diagnostic components, through smart sensors and data concentrators that perform data acquisition, local environmental qualification, equipment monitoring and system health evaluation, and complete, systems for health management and diagnostics/prognostics for industrial and DoD applications
