About

SmartSenseCom was conceived by its founders as an industrial information company that safely supplies the best possible measurement, control, and diagnostic information for a wide range of applications. The company began in mid-2010 with a technology license from the Naval Research Laboratory and worked for the last several years to adapt that NRL technology to the commercial environment – focusing on two core applications: acoustic detection and the measurement and management of electric power systems.

SmartSenseCom is intent on providing the highest quality information for its customers’ missions. Combining revolutionary optical sensing technology with specifically adapted electronics and network management products, SmartSenseCom delivers information that is:

• Orders of magnitude more accurate than traditional electro-mechanical transducers (and the digital signal processors that have been developed to improve their performance)
• Consistent and reliable over an extraordinarily broad spectrum of electrical, magnetic, mechanical and acoustic phenomena without the need for regular recalibration
• Delivered to monitoring platforms and control systems in usable form in less than 100 µs.
• In electric power applications, much safer than many traditional, high energy measurement devices due to the achievement of electrical decoupling, the inert nature of the probe materials, and the absence of any flammable oils or other dangerous insulating materials.

The development of SmartSenseCom is firmly tied to its relationships and its technology and product partners – particularly the Naval Research Laboratory.

SmartSenseCom has corporate offices in Washington, DC, and its laboratory and fabrication facilities in Silver Spring, Maryland. SmartSenseCom has one subsidiary, Fiber Optic Sensor Systems Corporation, which holds its patents and other intellectual property.
