Creating a Proof-of-Concept cloud-deployable software system to compare a unique fingerprint for aerospace composite parts as part of preventing ingress of counterfeit parts into the supply chain and protecting revenue streams.

** 项目描述：** 为了证明使用复合材料制成的多个代表性航空航天部件的“指纹识别”以及通过指纹识别区分它们的能力，理想情况下，这些部件是由航空航天主要提供的实际生产部件。需要：** 假冒零件是：“_未经授权或权利生产或修改产品以模仿产品，意图通过将仿制品冒充原装或正品来误导或欺诈_"。所有产品的假冒市场规模估计超过4600亿美元。航空航天和汽车零部件在最多的假冒产品中排名第十，占非法业务的2%。波音公司2008年的一份报告指出，任何东西都可能被伪造，包括紧固件。（螺栓，螺母，铆钉）航空航天工业中的假冒零件是最危险的，因为它们使毫无戒心的人处于受伤或死亡的危险之中。创建一种机制，使操作员能够确定器械的来源，以防止因使用假冒部件而导致灾难性故障的风险以及对制造商和操作员造成的经济损失。**创新 **：我们正在申请专利的创新组合将使复合材料组件具有独特的“指纹”，这样复合材料产品就可以通过供应链进行跟踪，并在使用前进行验证。

**Project Description:** To demonstrate the "_fingerprinting_" of multiple representative aerospace parts made using composites and the ability to discriminate between them as a result of the fingerprinting, ideally for those parts to be actual production parts provided by an aerospace prime.**Need:** Counterfeit parts are: "_A product produced or altered to resemble a product without authority or right to do so, with the intent to mislead or defraud by passing the imitation as original or genuine_".The estimated counterfeit market size for all products exceeds $460Bn. The aerospace and automotive parts are in 10th place among the most counterfeited products, accounting for 2% of this illegal business (almost $10Bn).A 2008 report by the Boeing Company states that anything can be counterfeited including fasteners (bolts, nuts, rivets) and materials.Fake parts in the aerospace industry are among the most dangerous as they put unsuspecting people at risk of injury or death.The need is to create a mechanism for operators to have certainty as to device provenance to protect against the risk of catastrophic failure and resulting economic damage to manufacturers and operators resulting from counterfeit parts use.**Innovation**: Our combination of patent-pending innovations will allow composite components to be given a unique 'fingerprint' such that composite products can be traced through the supply chain and validated prior to use.
