EAP Micro-Sensor Array for Naval Applications

Abstract

Nonlinear acoustic sensing of fluid flows is of great importance to naval operations to provide real-time visualization of the environment around an underwater mobile object. Motivated by biology to create an array of artificial cilia micro-sensors, we propose a method offabrication and design of a micro-sensor array system for use as nonlinear sensors, made from anionomer-based electroactive polymer, for underwater operations. This is a collaborative effort between University of Nevada, Las Vegas and Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Newport.
