Military aircraft often receive damage to their structure and special features due to a variety of causes. The damage is typically detected visually or through the aid of hand-held nondestructive inspection devices. Determining the exact location and spatial orientation of the damage is critical for many reasons. Typically, measurements are made from structural features such as fasteners, doors, or panels and then transferred manually to paper, which is often an inaccurate, time-consuming, expensive, and inflexible process that is not readily transferable to other formats. The SURVICE Engineering Company is intimately familiar with this problem as our core business areas, aircraft vulnerability analysis and Aircraft Battle Damage and Repair (ABDR), require a detailed analysis of damage and damage effects. This frequently requires SURVICE to inspect post-test damage and determine the end effects of that damage. SURVICE has developed procedures and software that use a 3D spatial measurement system to accurately and quickly measure post-test damage in support of our vulnerability analyses. SURVICE believes that, with little risk, our procedures and software that uses the 3D measurement system can be tailored to meet the requirements of SBIR AF06-102.
