Low Cost Zinc Sulfide Missile Dome Manufacturing

Abstract

In conclusion, the new Army ManTech Program "Low Cost Zinc Sulfide Missile Dome Manufacturing" is currently addressing advanced manufacturing methods for lower unit production cost of multispectral zinc sulfide domes. While Dome Program personnel are still working out some of the details of the program, the objectives and planned improvements have been provided along with a program schedule and potential transitions to current DoD programs. The recent emphasis on development of affordable tri-mode seeker technologies has also been discussed. The AMRDEC Affordability and Manufacturing Engineering Team anticipates great successes on this program, and plans to take every opportunity to present these successes to achieve the widest possible dissemination to the DoD community.
