Research abstract
The Space Micro team will rapidly develop a miniature DACS electronics module which meets the MDA interceptor radiation threat. This unit will be more than 50X smaller than current lab devices, and be mechanically compatible with MDA propulsion contractor needs. In Phase II we will leverage the Phase I R&D to design and fabricate both prototype and Engineering Model parts, from advanced COTS microelectronics. These DACS modules will undergo electrical, radiation, and structural evaluation both by Space Micro and MDA subs/primes. The path to insertion into MKV is planned,including the Option phase which will integrate this DACS module into next level assembly and perform qualification testing.
