$139,962Benefit:
Sporian anticipates development of a compact, low power propellant stabilizer sensor based on hyperspectral imaging, along with the associated sensor positioning system for analysis and management of rocket motor health, with anticipated benefits including enhanced mission readiness, increased knowledge of the solid rocket motor fleet, improved maintenance, and reduced support costs. The proposed technology will also potentially facilitate similar benefits in the safety for Air Force and other triservice solid rocket motors through critical systems monitoring. Similarly, this sensing platform can be used for many other non-defense applications ranging from recycling to precision agriculture to mining and oil and gas exploration.
