This paper describes the development of a complete fiber optic sensor network demonstrator, installed on a naval warfare simulator system. It incorporates a 64 on/off multiplexed optical sensor network together with single point analog optical sensors. A complete description of the system is given showing the different sensors that have been developed and their specific applications. We also discuss the experimental results and the potential advantages of this technology for naval systems.
