High-Fidelity Data Acquisition & Sensor Integration

The contract calls for the supply and integration of advanced embedded sensors into concrete coupons and test platforms designed to capture real-time, multi-parameter degradation data under controlled and simulated environmental conditions. These sensors must be engineered to withstand the harsh physical and chemical properties of concrete while continuously monitoring critical indicators such as strain, temperature, moisture, chloride ingress, and pH levels, all with synchronized telemetry for precise data correlation and timestamping. The goal is to enable high-fidelity, continuous monitoring of material degradation processes to support long-term durability assessments and predictive modeling for infrastructure resilience. The work requires seamless sensor integration without compromising the structural integrity of the concrete specimens, ensuring data fidelity and reliability across extended testing periods. Data collection systems must transmit information wirelessly or via embedded conduits with minimal latency and maximum uptime, supporting remote monitoring capabilities. The project is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 334518 and is managed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency under the Department of Defense, with a response deadline of August 17, 2026. All deliverables must meet stringent performance standards to ensure the data collected is actionable for defense and civil infrastructure applications.
