SYSTEM FOR ACTIVE DATA ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT IN A GAS TURBINE ENGINE

An aircraft sensor system (100) includes a first sensor (90; 110; 430) configured to detect a parameter of an aircraft system and a first micro electromechanical-system (MEMS) (120, 122, 124, 126, 128; 410) disposed local to a first component within the aircraft system. The first MEMS (120 ... 410) is communicatively connected to a controller (92; 130; 420), and is configured to trigger in response to a corresponding parameter exceeding a threshold (232). The controller (92 ... 420) is connected to an output of the first sensor (90 ... 430) and includes a non-transitory memory storing instructions configured to cause the controller (92 ... 420) to increase a sampling rate of the first sensor (90 ... 430) to a sampling rate corresponding to the first component for at least a predetermined length of time in response to the first MEMS (120 ... 410) being triggered.
