## Description

Develop an NDE device for helmets and rigid armour that will be able to detect damage using a remote handheld device to wirelessly inspect equipment in the field\. The Acousto-Ultrasonics system shall provide a mechanism to compare received waveforms with a baseline \(undamaged\) signal, to provide experimental data that will be used in quantifying impact damage\. The system shall be integratable to representative helmets and rigid body armours\. Helmets will require 5 sensors per helmet, armour plates will require 4 sensors per plate\. Faulty sensors shall be easily detectable and a suitable workaround shall be provided\. The work shall be undertaken in accordance with the SBRI application 59640-446180 submitted and held by Innovate UK for the Non-Destructive Evaluation programme\.
