Sensor Calibration For The 'Next Navy' And The 'Navy After Next'

摘要

For the future Navy, calibration is becoming an increasing necessity that apparently runs counter to the Navy's intent to reduce the shipboard workload. However, increased ship embedded sensorization is seen as the solution to monitoring of shipboard functions and to providing the accurate data needed to support the mathematical algorithms for Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) and Prognostic Health Maintenance (PHM). This paper will present the background and issues for Design for Built-in Calibration (BIC) for MicroElectroMechanical System (MEMS) sensor calibration methods being developed, which will reduce the manpower and ancillary equipment required for sensor calibration to miniscule levels.
