    Abstract: A semi-autonomous rapid response active clearance control system for a gas turbine engine includes an outer case, a carrier for a blade outer airseal positioned radially inward of the outer case, a blade outer airseal positioned radially inward of and mounted to the carrier, at least one electromechanical actuator attached to the outer case and selectively operable to move the carrier, and a sensing system. The sensing system includes a maneuver sensor housed within the actuator and configured to output a first signal, a position sensor mounted proximate to the blade outer airseal and configured to output a second signal, and a control means in communication with the maneuver sensor and the position sensor.
