Research abstract
MORSE Corp proposes to develop the Parachute Olefin-polysulfone Obfuscating Film (POOF) airdrop concept. POOF consists of a canopy constructed of transparent olefin polysulfone films that depolymerize into a benign gas when raised above a tunable transition temperature. The films depolymerization will be triggered by Joule heating, with a secondary transience mechanism utilizing free radical generation via photo initiators. This material approach to the reduction in parachute visual and physical signaturecan be applied to round chutes as well as ram air parafoils.
