Project funded by the European Defense Fund (EDF) 2021, in the amount of €3,386,861. DAS exploits the laser – induced Rayleigh backscattering in the Fiber Optic Cable (FOC) to detect incident. Real-time insights to protect and optimize what matters most – with reliable, scalable, and seamlessly integrated fiber optic solutions tailored to your monitoring needs. FIBERMARS will focus on and advance the Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology. It was in the early 1980s that INESC TEC started working in the field of optical fibre sensors and the year 2014 is a landmark in this story, as that was the year INESC TEC sold its spin-off FiberSensing to a German multinational. With a single acqu...
