Carbon Nanotube Cable
Abstract
Advanced Materials Manufacturing: There are increasing demands on platform electric power generation and distribution, and issues with copper current limits, weight, and thermal management. Efficient and lightweight power generation and transmission are required for megawatt directed energy weapons and electric launch systems. Seeking the solution will provide reduced weight in signal and power cables, enable increased use of ISR sensors, enable higher frequency power systems, which are inherently lighter weight. Increase throughput of CNT wire and sheet systems through in-situ quality controls, enable rail gun and directed energy systems, and enable long distance power distribution.
