Research abstract

The Peregrine Falcon Corporation utilizing its proprietary technology in the fabrication of exotic materals will produce kinetic vehicle components such as sensor baffles, bulkheads, protective covering, shielding, interfaces, deployment systems, separations systems, housing structures for electronics, and even primary structure that will yield the lightest weight, highest performance structures possible, bar none. Peregrine has extensive experience in the use of exotic materials for primary structure along with optical components, and pointing systems. This approach will yield lighter weight, low inert mass, and higher load carrying capable structures than the current state of the art demonstrated by EKV/GBI, and SMIII with thin hogged components, at a lower cost. The fracture toughness, the specific stiffness, and the specific strength of the proposed material is superior to other candidates.Approved for Public Release | 18-MDA-9710 (6 Jul 18)
