Shaped Radome and Embedded Frequency Selective Surface Modeling for Large-Scale Platforms

The primary focus of this SBIR effort is to further develop the state of the art frequency domain electromagnetic solver ParMax based on the UWVF formulation, specifically with regard to rapid performance analysis of complex radome designs. In addition, this development will meet the following requirements:The method is contributing to new ideas and innovations in the area of volumetric Boundary Integral Equation (BIE) solvers,Demonstrate high order accuracy and an order of magnitude reduction in computational resource requirements over the current CEM state of the art and state of practice,Be able to handle different CAD models (IGES, STEP, Parasolid, STL, and SAT) for both the platform and the radome, including several antennas mounted on the platform,Be able to handle problem sizes in the 500-1000range involving antenna/radome/structure interaction on full scale targets,Be able to run Navys problems of interest on moderate size clusters (512 cores), andSoftware architecture to include both CPU and GPU clusters, and other emerging platforms such as the Intel MIC architecture.
