The work is about a FBG sensors network onboard an UAV. It collects local temperature and maneuver-induced deformations to provide health status information. The tests were conducted from on ground analysis to flight. Thanks to data collected, the proposed system presents a promising approach to provide an alternative data source, thereby enhancing the reliability of current navigation systems.
