BAE Systems to Develop High-bandwidth Pressure Sensor for Extreme Temperature Environments
BAE Systems to Develop High-bandwidth Pressure Sensor for Extreme Temperature Environments
Many critical defense and industrial systems such as hypersonic aircraft and missiles, automotive, jet engine turbine, and oil-and-gas systems operate in extreme temperature conditions. Current sensors have limited performance as they cannot operate in temperatures higher than 225°C. Their capability is limited by the materials that comprise the sensors themselves, the accompanying circuitry (e.g., silicon-based transistor technology) and packaging.FAST Labs research and development organization awarded $12 million contract from DARPA

许多关键的国防和工业系统，如超音速飞机和导弹、汽车、喷气发动机涡轮机以及油气系统，均在极端温度条件下运行。当前传感器的性能有限，无法在超过225°C的温度下工作。它们的能力受到组成传感器自身的材料、随附电路（例如，以硅为基础的晶体管技术）和封装的限制。
The HOTS program will help develop microelectronic sensor technologies capable of high-bandwidth, high-dynamic-range sensing at extreme temperatures.
HOTS计划将帮助开发能够在极端温度下进行高带宽、高动态范围传感的微电子传感器技术。
"Due to advances in materials and processes, there is now an ability to pursue high-bandwidth pressure sensors capable of performing in high-temperature environments not previously possible," said Amrita Masurkar, technology development manager at BAE Systems' FAST Labs research and development organization. "Through the HOTS program, applications such as industrial process control, jet engine prognostics, and space exploration could benefit from collection of real-time data using high-temperature pressure sensors and circuitry."
"由于材料和工艺的进步，现在可以追求高带宽压力传感器，这种传感器能够在以前无法实现的高温环境中工作，" BAE Systems的FASt Labs研究与开发组织的技术开发经理Amrita Masurkar说。"通过HOTS计划，工业过程控制、喷气发动机预测和太空探索等应用可以从使用高温压力传感器和电路进行实时数据收集中受益。"
Under the terms of the contract, BAE Systems will design and build a new pressure sensor module – consisting of an integrated transducer and signal-conditioning microelectronics – able to operate with high performance at 800°C or 1,472°F.
根据合同条款，BAE系统将设计并制造一种新的压力传感器模块——由集成传感器和信号调理微电子设备组成——能够在800°C或1,472°F下高性能运行。
Work on this program will take place at BAE Systems' facilities in Nashua, New Hampshire and Merrimack, New Hampshire. It will also include collaboration with subcontractors The Penn State Applied Research Laboratory, Purdue University and Kampanics, LLC, and supplier GE Aerospace's research center.
该项目将在BAE系统位于新罕布什尔州纳舒厄和梅里麦克的设施内进行。还将与分包商宾夕法尼亚州立大学应用研究实验室、普渡大学和Kampanics, LLC，以及供应商GE航空航天研究中心合作。
