| Resumen |
The WISD project (Wireless Intelligent Sensing
Devices) is a collaborative industrial/academic project
developing wireless sensors for Health and Usage
Monitoring (HUMS) on helicopters, and in particular
sensors attached to rotating components. The project is led
by Agusta-Westland with partners TRW Conekt, SEA
(Systems Engineering and Assessment Ltd) and the
University of Bristol. The project was funded through the
UK government DTI Technology Programme (now TSB).
As the project nears completion, this paper reviews the goals
and achievements including: energy harvesting and power
system, low power sensing, data processing, system
architecture, implementation and flight trial of the devices. |
