IGF::OT::IGF FOR THIS STTR PROJECT, AMERICAN GNC CORPORATION (AGNC) AND LOUISIANA TECH UNIVERSITY (LATECH) ARE PROPOSING A SIGNIFICANT BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY FOR IMPROVING EMBEDDED SENSING, REMOTE AND WIRELESS MONITORING, AND THE CAPTURE OF DATA, INFORMATION, AND KNOWLEDGE (DIAK) AT PROPULSION GROUND TEST FACILITIES WITH THE INTEGRATED MONITORING AWARENESS ENVIRONMENT (IM-AWARE). THIS SYSTEM CONSISTS OF SMART SENSORS THAT INTERFACE WITH TRANSDUCERS MEASURING PARAMETERS SUCH AS HEAT FLUX, TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE, STRAIN, AND NEAR-FIELD ACOUSTICS. LOW-LEVEL FAULT DIAGNOSTIC AUTONOMY IS GRANTED BY ADVANCED ALGORITHMS THAT NOT ONLY EXTRACT FEATURES IN MEASURED DATA WHICH ARE HIGHLY CORRELATED WITH POTENTIAL FAILURE MODES, BUT ALSO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE INTERRELATIONS IN A LARGE, COMPLEX SYSTEM. HIGH-LEVEL KNOWLEDGE IS INFUSED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT WITH GRAPH-BASED METHODS WHICH ALLOW DESCRIBING CAUSE AND EFFECT RELATIONSHIPS. THESE CORE CAPABILITIES ARE THEN DEPLOYED IN AN INNOVATIVE ENTERPRISE NETWORKING INFRASTRUCTURE BASED ON WIRELESS AND UBIQUITOUS INFORMATION SHARING. FINALLY, AT THE FRONT-END OF IM-AWARE, GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACES (GUI) FOR BOTH PCS AND MOBILE DEVICES DELIVER A COMPLETE PICTURE OF THE MONITORED SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED DIAK WITH REAL-TIME UPDATES.
