Ambient Control Systems Battery-free Power for Katrina Deployment - Phase I

1. Ambient Control SystemsBattery-free Power for Katrina Deployment - Phase I Program Description Provide battery-free, long-term power component to support Sarnoff‘s sensors. Current Program Objectives • Utilize photovoltaic/capacitor power component from existing FireALERT sensor platform • Reconfigure and deliver FireALERT power component for integration with Sarnoff’s proposed unattended sensor systems. • Support Sarnoff’s integration and testing • Support Sarnoff in the deployment of battery-free sensor systems. 10-20 Year Lifecycle Survivable in extreme environment Virtually maintenance free Field and forget deployment Milestones • Determine technical requirements of proposed sensors and infrastructure in coordination with Sarnoff • Supply power components to meet schedule and quantities specified. • Reconfigure power component • Build designated quantities to required schedule • Deliver power components. • Support Sarnoff’s integration, testing and deployment of sensor systems Technology Challenges • Meet short-term requirements for post-Katrina monitoring and detection. • Provide long lifecycle and survivability in extreme environments. • Transition power component design from existing FireALERT wildfire detection system to support Sarnoff’s sensors. • Rapid build, test and delivery of reconfigured power component • Assure interface to designated sensors and network infrastructure
