## Description

To develop a concept sensor system to address in-service and on-wing solutions for the detection and reporting of contamination, carbonisation and wear\. The sensor system will be developed in conjunction with a Digital Signal Processor to provide an autonomous solution\. The key deliverables of the project are as follows: 1\. Optimise condition and health monitoring thin-film plantinum sensors for oil and fuel\. 2\. Ruggedise and optimise electronics for signal conditioning of the thin-sensors\. 3\. Develop algorithms to detect and report condition and indicate contamination level of oil and fuel\. 4\.Validate the thermal product concept for condition and health monitoring of oil and fuel using controlled samples\. 5\.Report on sensor optimisation, conditioning electronics and performance of the sensor system in terms of condition and health monitoring\. 6\. Phase 1 Final Report\.
