Funded Activity Summary

Microwave Detection of Structural Degradation in Maritime Industry. Novel applications of microwave technology to inspection systems in marine infrastructure will transform industry practice. By utilizing multi-mode antennas, the project aims to develop a gold-standard in microwave inspection, delivering more accurate and early detection of defects. The project aims will be achieved by combining innovative microwave technology, featuring multi-mode antennas and novel processing and imaging algorithms, with ground-breaking smart scanning and unmanned marine vehicle implementations. This innovative outcome obviates the need for current industry approaches based on inaccurate and tedious manual inspections, yielding massive cost savings and reductions in hazard associated with unanticipated structural failure.
