A system and method for inspecting a structure are provided. The system
includes at least one non-destructive inspection ("NDI") sensor capable
of acquiring data indicative of at least a portion of the structure, and
at least one positional sensor for acquiring positional data of the NDI
sensor. The system also includes a mechanism operable to trigger the NDI
sensor and/or the positional sensor to acquire data such that data
indicative of the structure and the positional data are acquired at
approximately the same time. The system further includes a movable arm
carrying the sensors and movably attached to a base. The system includes
a data acquisition system capable of communicating with the sensors such
that the data acquisition system generates information indicative of at
least a portion of the structure based on the data acquired by the
sensors.
