Wright Center For Sensor Systems Engineering (WCSSE) Issues Request For Proposals |
In response to the current technology and market-driven needs for smaller, faster, and less expensive and more efficient sensors and integrated sensor systems, the Wright Center for Sensor Systems Engineering is released a Request for Proposals (RFP), soliciting proposals from industry and academic partners for the development and commercialization of sensors and integrated sensor systems that meet the critical national needs in energy, the environment and sustainability. Examples include, but are not limited to: (1) the development of advanced sensing systems to support the deployment of alternative energy sources in the power grid to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining reliability and robustness, (2) the development of advanced sensing systems that can be deployed for the effective measurement of explicit infrastructure (roads, highways, bridges and water/gas piping systems) performance characteristics such as fatigue, corrosion, stress, usage, damage, etc. Teams are encouraged to incorporate wireless technology in their sensor system design, where appropriate. For project teams selected for funding, WCSSE will provide MSP410 wireless modules from Crossbow free of charge. The Data Sheet and Users Manual are included with this solicitation.
Proposals responsive to this solicitation must clearly identify the technology and market needs and provide a compelling plan for technology development through commercialization. The total funds available through this solicitation are approximately $1,000,000 and the period of performance is January 1, 2009 - December 31, 2009.
Contact Bill Verduin, Executive Director of WCSSE at w.verduin@csuohio.edu for more information.
