The Fiber Sensor system was developed for the U.S. Navy to enable structural health monitoring through embedded optical fibers. It delivers continuous, real-time data on stress, strain, and temperature to improve maintenance planning and mission readiness.
FTL’s Fiber Sensor is an optical, field-capable, free-water detection and quantification instrument to be used initially in commercial and military aviation refueling environments. The instrument is expected to be installed on hydrant servicers, hydrant carts and mobile refueling tankers downstream of the final filter-separator or “Monitor” vessels on these vehicles to provide final, real-time fuel-quality inspection before entering the aircraft.
