Realtime Sensor For Detecting Gallium Infiltration Attack, Peter Holtmann
Realtime Sensor For Detecting Gallium Infiltration Attack, Peter Holtmann
Undergraduate Research Conference at Missouri S&T
The proposed research is to create a real-time sensor for detecting aluminum degradation due to gallium infiltration attacks, specifically in military vehicles and structures. Gallium acts as a poison to aluminum, leading to catastrophic failures of structural integrity. The proliferation of educational material on this subject raises security concerns for the United States Military, where nearly all structures utilize aluminum due to its high-strength, light-weight profile. Utilizing Fiber-Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors and machine learning techniques, this research aims to develop a real-time sensor to detect these attacks.
