The application of smart sensor systems for aerospace applications is a multidisciplinary process consisting of sensor element development, element integration into smart sensor hardware, and testing of the resulting sensor systems in application environments. This paper provides a cross-section of these activities for multiple aerospace applications illustrating the technology challenges involved. The development and application testing topics discussed are: 1) The broadening of sensitivity and operational range of silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky gas sensor elements; 2) Integration of fire detection sensor technology into a 'Lick and Stick' smart sensor hardware platform for crew exploration vehicle applications; 3) Extended testing for zirconia based oxygen sensors in the basic 'Lick and Stick' platform for environmental monitoring applications. It is concluded that that both core sensor platform technology and a basic hardware platform can enhance the viability of implementing smart sensor systems in aerospace applications.
