1. A component, comprising:
at least one meso-scale or micro-scale resonator embedded within a material of the component, wherein the at least one meso-scale or micro-scale resonator is formed from a composite material,
wherein the at least one meso-scale or micro-scale resonator is configured to resonate at a first frequency in response to an interrogation signal from a leaky coaxial cable antenna;
wherein the first frequency is correlated with a concentration of water proximate to the at least one meso-scale or micro-scale resonator;
wherein the concentration of water is located on an exterior surface of an airborne vehicle; and
wherein the component is part of the airborne vehicle, and the material of the component is found on at least one of: a propeller blade, a wing, a body material, landing gear, a cockpit interface, cockpit windshield, or a structural component.
