Abstract:

The Radio Frequency Health Node (RFHN) provides a method for remotely configuring wireless/wired sensors and accessing the sensor data during flight or other remote activity. The RFHN may integrate the sensors into a higher-level data stream by sending the data to a management facility. Access to the sensors can be made available remotely through the management facility allowing operators to send commands to and receive data from the RFHN and the array of wireless/wired sensors.
