Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for nondestructive inspection of unitized composite structures is provided. The system includes an infrared thermographic camera and a carriage that can be mounted on, for example, adjacent frames of the unitized composite structure. The carriage can move along the length of the frames while the infrared thermographic camera collects and analyzes thermographic images of the frame, skin, and stiffeners. The carriage can be moved to other frames and the inspection continued until the entire unitized composite structure has be inspected.
