<title>Development of a fiber optic sensor network for naval applications</title>

Abstract

This paper describes the development of a complete fiber optic sensor network demonstrator, installed on a Naval Warfare simulator system. It incorporates a 64 ON/OFF multiplexed optical sensor network together with single point analog optical sensors. A complete description of the system is given showing the different sensors that have been developped and their specific applications. We also discuss the experimental results and the potential advantages of this technology for naval systems.
