1. A method of monitoring a structure comprising the steps of:

  • collecting a plurality of sensor signals representative of sensed data from a plurality of micro-electrical mechanical sensors, the plurality of micro-electrical mechanical sensors generating sensed data representative of at least shock and vibration;

    converting the plurality of sensor signals into digital data;

    processing the digital data, wherein the processing includes processing the shock and vibration data for providing shock and vibration saturation points and profile for the structure being monitored;

    generating a data communications protocol for communicating the digital data; and

    remotely communicating the processed digital data; and

    simultaneously and remotely detecting the generated communications protocol having the processed data to determined the occurrence of at least one predetermined condition.
