The objectives reflecting the purpose of the center are: to develop a high performance MEMS based gyroscope for aviation, space, defense and personal navigation. The MEMS gyroscope will be based on existing Honeywell IP. The gyroscope will comprise advanced design methods, architectures and calibration methodologies leading to increased performance. to develop complex inertial-based system for railway odometry with guarantied safety through advanced analysis and design of sensing system. This includes evaluation and optimization of failure detection and failure correction subsystems with optimal redundancy or backup capabilities. to develop methods for reliable application and deployment of large arrays of FBG optical sensors for building structural health monitoring, practical evaluation of collected data and means for mass data readout from high number of sensor channels. to develop fiber optic gyroscope sensor within local technology base. to develop new magnetic-based sensors for highly customized applications. These will include use of modern high-sensitivity magnetic sensors for new or modernized design and construction of position sensors and sensor arrays, intermediate-distance vehicle detection road sensors and high speed rotation sensor for turbochargers. to develop qualification, testing and measurement methodology applicable to especially inertial and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors and arrays.
