High Operating Temperature Sensors for Hypersonics and Turbine Engines (HOTSHOT)
Abstract
The High Operating Temperature Sensors for Hypersonics and Turbine Engines (HOTSHOT) program seeks to enable electronics and sensing in harsh temperature environments for next generation vehicles. Currently, sensing systems are not robust to the temperature extremes expected over a mission lifetime. This technology gap hampers the ability to capture flight test data from air vehicles (boost glide, air-breathing, etc.) during development. HOTSHOT will develop the material, device, and sensor technologies required to create high-temperature capable sensing systems. These new material choices allow transduction, signal conditioning, digitization, and processing at elevated temperatures, thus reducing the need for temperature shielding of these components. Reduced shielding drops the on-vehicle size, weight, and power requirements for many components. HOTSHOT will enable faster and more predictable design of new air vehicles, which will lead to more efficient system performance.
