Abstract:
The Navy's new ship classes, CV(N) and DD(X), require low Radar Cross Section (RCS) composite structures that provide: corrosion resistance; excellent (>60dB) EM shielding effectiveness in the 100kHz to 20Ghz frequency range; fulfillment of Navyrequirements of Fire, Toxicity, and Smoke (FST); and integration into ship's composite and steel structures. Touchstone's Phase II effort will develop and test design techniques established in Phase I, including a demonstration of shielding effectivenessin the 100 kHz to 20 GHz range, RCS, resistance to corrosion when subjected to severe marine environment, and the ability to assist in achieving a low radar cross section.Touchstone's coal-based carbon foam material, CFOAM , can be tailored to be a high-performance absorber and perfect electrical conductor (PEC) of wide-band frequency and wide-angle incidence for electromagnetic shielding structures. CFOAM is produced bythe thermal decomposition (Small Business Information at Submission:TOUCHSTONE RESEARCH LABORATORY, LTD.
