Historical The system was initially designed for the U.S. Department of Transportation as an experimentation tool to evaluate the performance of bridge structures under transient loads. This system acquired data from low and high level sensors to measure stress/strain, vibration, and temperature data at up to 60 points on the bridge structure. Each remote data…

Historical Invocon designed and developed a data acquisition system as an experimental tool to evaluate the performance of nylon dispersion bridles of a parafoil under transient loads, specifically to be used in parachute drop tests for the X38 vehicle preliminary flight tests. The X38 was under development to replace the three-seat Soyuz as a seven-person…

Historical NASA is seeking advanced habitation technologies that will facilitate planetary and space habitation by humans through the creation of “smart structures” capable of autonomous monitoring by embedded sensors. In order to increase reliability while reducing life-cycle costs and improving performance, Invocon is developing the UltraWIS system to assist in locating leaks within pressurized spacecraft…

Historical Invocon has recently finished a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract with the US Navy to develop the Un-tethered Velocity of Sounds Profiling Sensor (UVOSPS) system. The purpose of UVOSPS is to measure water column sound velocity in littoral regions. The sensor system includes multiple miniature probes that are periodically released to…

Historical The Video Micro Movement Sensor was developed to explore the possibilities of using miniature cameras as a tool for aircraft testing and inspection. The VMMS can take VGA sized pictures (640 x 480 pixels) for inspection purposes while providing 6 ultra-bright LEDs as a light source. In addition to taking still pictures, the camera…

Historical The WAIS system is a wireless instrumentation system designed for the Naval Air Warfare Center for aircraft testing. The Phase II hardware pictured above successfully flew aboard a CH-53 helicopter in 2001. The purpose of this system was to replace the wires between various test sensors and existing analog telemetry equipment.  The WAIS system…

Historical Invocon developed a synchronous, real-time wireless data acquisition system for the flight-testing of aircraft. This Air Force Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I system consisted of a four-unit, low power, data acquisition and communications network capable of monitoring in-flight aircraft performance. The WATS system operates by transmitting data at 916MHz from remote sensor…

Historical The Wide-Band Micro-Miniature Tri-Axial Accelerometer Unit (WB MicroTAU) system is a wireless, high-speed data acquisition network for dynamic acceleration sensing and recording applications. The system includes WB MicroTAU Remote Units, a WB MicroTAU Receiver Unit, and the Graphical User Interface (GUI). The WB MicroTAU Remote Unit is a small, battery-powered, autonomous, wireless device designed…

Historical A Wireless Data Acquisition System was developed for NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) to be used ultimately on the International Space Station (ISS) as well as for many experimental applications on the Shuttle. The foundation for this system began with the prototype Sensor Control and Telecommunications System (SCAT).  Phase II development for the WDAS started…

Historical NASA Dryden Flight Research Center contracted Invocon to develop a proof-of-concept system that would allow the control of aircraft with radio frequency links between the pilot controls and the flight control surfaces on the wings. Nicknamed the “Wireless Flight Control System” (WFCS), the requirement involved the design of suppressed carrier, spread spectrum, high redundancy,…
