Thermal Management System for Ship Decks (TMD)
Abstract
It is anticipated that the high engine exhaust temperatures from the next generation of Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft deployed on Navy ships will dramatically reduce the life of both the deck structure and the non-skid surfaces. The Thermal Management System for Ship Decks (TMD) addressed this problem by demonstrating a heat distribution system with an integrated thermally-stable non-skid coating. The TMD transitioned to the Navy for integration into amphibious assault ships.
