Thermal Management System for Ship Decks (TMD)
Abstract
(U) 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) will address this problem by demonstrating a heat distribution system with an integrated thermally stable non-skid coating. Upon satisfactory completion of the development and certification of the design, the TMD will be transitioned to the Navy for integration into amphibious assault ships.
