ARP6366 defines a comprehensive and widely-accepted set of specification guidelines to be considered by those seeking to use or design fiber optic sensors for aerospace applications. Some of the most common applications for fiber optic sensing within aerospace include inertial guidance and navigation (gyros) and structural monitoring (temperature, strain, and vibration sensing). Common sensor infrastructure elements include: transmitting and receiving opto-electronics (e.g., sources and receivers); multiplexing and demultiplexing optics; optical cabling; and signal processing (both hardware and firmware/software). Use of fiber optic sensor systems in the aerospace industry is expected to grow as the benefits and unique sensing solutions are understood. Guidance is needed for writing fiber optic sensor specifications to supply a comprehensive and widely-accepted vocabulary, parameters, and practices for fiber optic sensors for aerospace applications. Adoption of fiber optic sensors on aerospace platforms will benefit from improved coordination between developers, specifiers, program managers, and end users.
