The anticipated initial market of the wireless high frequency surface sensors is for remote monitoring in propulsion systems. An appreciation of the instrumentation issues obtained by working with NASA propulsion facilities would allow improvements in sensor materials, electronics and packaging, and potentially allow the transition of related products to operational vehicles.
The commercialization potential of the NM technology lies in four areas, namely 1) NM sensor skin arrays for the measurement of multi-axis surface pressure, 2) Broader sensor skin arrays for the measurement of pressure, 3) Single-element air or water flow sensors, and 4) wireless module.
