Achieving Reliable Information from Extensive Sensor Cluster Networks on Ships,

Abstract

This report is the result of a study that seeks to provide guidelines for obtaining reliable information from a sensor network that frequently or continuously monitors the interior status of a ship. It compliments other reports in preparation from NRL. Approaches include built-in tests (BIT) and built-in calibration (BIC) but they have drawbacks. The primary finding and recommendation of this study is that redundancy is feasible and is the most cost effective route for achieving reliable sensor data.
