BH Technology LLC SBIR Phase I Award, July 2021

BH Technology proposes the development of a wireless mesh network sensor system for submarine machinery health monitoring. The system will consist of autonomous, self-configuring, self-powered transducer nodes measuring parameters including, but not limited to, vibration, temperature, current, and voltage. The transducers are completely non-invasive and do not require any modifications to the machinery. They are also self powered by incorporating novel energy harvesting capability. The transducers are fully demountable so that as the machinery systems change and grow, the transducers can simply be moved according to need, without disturbing or reconfiguring the entire system. The system can operate at either 2.4GHz or 915MHz.
