Description
Mentis Sciences and San Diego Composites have developed composite materials that reduce system weight and sustain more aero-thermally stressing environments. This technology has been validated in rain erosion tests, has undergone preliminary aerothermal evaluation, and is currently undergoing characterization to develop B-Basis material allowables. This will be accomplished by designing and demonstrating lightweight coatings that are capable of reducing the risk of outgassing and spallation inside the nosecone while simultaneously improving performance against Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3). A multi-physics model will also be made, and then used to conduct a parametric study that will bound the design of a lightning strike protection system.(Approved for Public Release 15-MDA-8482 (17 November 15))
