Graphite Fiber Reinforced Mg EKV Sunshade for Be Replacement and Cost and Mass Reduction
SBC: METAL MATRIX CAST COMPOSITES, LLC (DBA M Topic: MDA02021bIn Phase I, we demonstrated that Mg-AZ31 alloy reinforced with graphite fibers has over 27% higher specific stiffness than beryllium. Since EKV sunshade is a stiffness critical application, sunshades manufactured from graphite/Mg could weigh 27% less than the current Be design. Further, testing at MMCC and preliminary results from Raytheon show the material to be gas impermeable. Using MMCC's n ...

High Dynamic Range, Mulit-Band Scene Generator for Accurate HWIL Testing
SBC: ION OPTICS, INC. Topic: MDA04031Ion Optics will build on established, successful experience with resistive emitter arrays and add high dynamic range capabilities in two ways. First, Ion Optics is already developing a SiC-based emitter technology which will permit simulation of targets with radiometric temperatures up to 1200,aC. Second, we will add high radiance light (apparent temperature to 3000,aK) from a diode source to th ...

Pultrusion-Based Production of Next-Generation Composite Missile Canisters
SBC: KaZaK Composites Incorporated Topic: MDA03054Missile defense rounds such as Patriot PAC-3 are stored, transported and launched from rectangular composite canisters. These canisters are currently made by filament winding. In Phase I KaZaK Composites performed work that suggested significant cost savings could result by pultruding the canister rather than filament winding. Pultrusion is a highly automated technology that replaces part by part ...
