Research abstract
A successful development will yield a metal based system that reduces mass, improves performance, supports high loads during flight, is robust and is highly reliable. This solution will integrate protection from electrostatic discharge and lightning strikes; and, assist in the dissipation of electromagnetic impulses. It is dimensionally and chemically stable over long storage life cycles and flight profiles. This technology is based on multi layers of metal insulation separated by vacuum in order to create the perfect insulation system. It has a thermal conductivity that is an order of magnitude lower than the current state of the art and is substantially lighter in weight at approximately half the density.(Approved for Public Release 15-MDA-8482 (17 November 15))
