Missile Defense (CA)

Abstract

Four major efforts will be performed with these funds. a) High Power Microwave Lethality Prototype testing, testing and modeling will be performed to ascertain the vulnerabilities of critical electrical circuits and components in order to attack adversary systems, such as unmanned aerial systems, and to protect U.S. assets and infrastructure in use by the Warfighter. b) Advanced Electronic/Environmental Control Unit Thermal Management Prototypes of different sizes will be built and tested to reduce the magnitude of fuel used at forward operating bases consumed by environmental control units to keep major electronic systems cool in austere environments. Prototypes will be used to fully evaluate distributed cooling and legacy approaches. c) Technology Complex Compound Materials for Thermal/Energy Management prototypes will be manufactured and test for suitability in high velocity impacts. The planned compound is Coordinative Molecular Bond Armor Material and has potential to provide ballistics and thermal protection. d) Upgrades are planned for the Advanced Measurement Optical Range facility to support laser radar development and testing.
