DARPA News  May 12, 2023 The performance of many of the defense and industrial systems that rely on sensors experience harsh environments beyond the capability of today’s high-performance physical sensors, they are limited by the uncertainty of their thermal environments. Today, sensors that can withstand thermally harsh conditions are limited to low-sensitivity transducers located in hot zones coupled via noisy electrical connections to remote, temperature-constrained, silicon signal-conditioning microelectronics in cold zones. The resulting integrated sensors lack the combination of frequency bandwidth and dynamic range essential for high-temperature missions. If we can design, integrate, and demonstrate high-performance physical sensors that can […]
