Lessons Learned Converting an Application for Determining Armor Health from the Laboratory to TRL6

Abstract

The Sensor Enhanced Armor (SEA) team has developed a method and algorithm for determining the health of Stryker ceramic armor panels. This method has been described in detail in several previous reports which are listed in the references. The method was developed and tested using a laboratory computer; however, this computer is not suitable for use in the field due to its size, weight and electrical requirements. This report documents the efforts to port the system to a small portable computer, (patent pending on method).
