Aerospace UniverSal opTical INterrogator (AUSTIN)

奥斯汀将解决航空航天“通用询问器”的需求，以允许不同类型的光子传感器在共同的航空电子设备盒中进行接口。这将为任何光学仪表化飞机提供中心部件。它将采用尚未在航空航天环境中实现的已知技术，例如光纤布拉格光栅和法布里·佩罗，并以以前从未尝试过的方式将它们结合在一起，以产生能够在单一设计中连接多种传感器类型的通用且可配置的‘通用询问器’。这将允许优化的解决方案，与所提供的接口的高利用率，无论在飞机的任何区域的‘本地’传感器类型。

AUSTIN will address the need for an Aerospace 'Universal Interrogator' to permit the interfacing of different types of Photonic Sensors within a common Avionics box. This will provide the central element in any optically instrumented Aircraft. It will take known techniques, e.g. the Fibre Bragg Gratings and Fabry Perot, which are yet to be implemented in an Aerospace context, and combine them in a way never before attempted, to produce a versatile and configurable 'Universal Interrogator', capable of interfacing multiple sensor types in a single design. This will allow an optimised solution, with a high utilisation rate of the interfaces provided, regardless of the 'local' sensor types at any zone of the Aircraft.
