The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Arizona State University (ASU) for the design, fabrication, system integration and outdoor testing of polarimetric imaging sensors integrated on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and the subsequent field testing of these polarimetric imaging UAVs for heliostat optical error and defect inspection. The project would be completed over three Budget Periods (BPs), with a Go/No-Go Decision Point in between each BP. Project work would occur at ASU’s research and development facility in Tempe, AZ with field testing taking place at Sandia National Laboratories (Sandia) in Albuquerque, NM.
