Analatom’s AN110-C (Commercial) Corrosion Health Monitoring System (CHMS) is designed for continuous in situ monitoring of structural corrosion rates and environmental conditions on high value commercial assets (aircraft, bridges, buildings, pipelines, refineries, vessels, etc.) and infrastructure, in general. The electrochemical sensors are postage stamp-sized and thin flex-cable mounted to permit installation in inaccessible areas, on the structure or beneath its protective coating/sealant. Analatom’s CHMS is continually improved, resulting from in-house development and constant technological advances in structural health monitoring. Transitioning the commercial technology, this Phase I effort will develop a DoD version—an AN120-M—from the current AN110-C. The resulting GEN III prototype will be an updated, enhanced CHMS design. The focus of this Phase I prototype is corrosion and environmental conditions monitoring in AF/DoD applications under the severe conditions occurring within aircraft operation envelopes. Initial platforms for monitoring/managing corrosion include C-130s, HH-60s, and base facilities at Patrick AFB, Florida, a high corrosivity environment. The ability to assess coating degradation; and the onset of corrosion through advanced sensor data management and coating condition/corrosion monitoring AI-based software establishes a framework for maintenance personnel to perform real-time assessment of aircraft and support equipment to substantially enhance Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) pr
