Digital Engineering-Supported Characterization and Evaluation of Modern RF Aperture Materials

Under the proposed Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer program, ATA Engineering, Inc., (ATA) and our selected Research Institution partner seek to evaluate a variety of RF aperture materials for high-temperature applications and support Department of Defense objectives for strengthening the associated defense industrial base. The proposed effort will focus on the planning of a material characterization and evaluation program that will be supported by unique ATA-developed digital engineering tools for rapidly generating accurate predictive material models from test data and capabilities for simulating operational performance of candidate materials. Identified candidate materials will be evaluated in Phase II according to developed characterization and evaluation plans.
