LOW COST MULTI-SPECTRAL EXPENDABLE COUNTERMEASURES

THE PROPOSED CONCEPT IS A REFLECTOR-EXPENDABLE DESIGNED TO COUNTER WEAPONS SYSTEMS THAT UTILIZE INTEGRATED RF/EO/IR TARGET ACQUISITION AND TRACKING SYSTEMS THREAT FIRE CONTROL SENSORS OVER THE ENTIRE FREQUENCY. THIS PHASE I EFFORT IS CONCERNED WITH PROVING PRELIMINARY FEASIBILITY OF THE BASIC CONCEPT ANALYTICALLY FOR APPLICATIONS ON SEMA AIRCRAFT, AND TO PERFORM SUFFICIENT PACKAGING ANALYSIS TO ESTABLISH DESIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR PHASE II MODEL DEVELOPMENT AND EXPERIMENTAL DEMONSTRATION. LOW COST WILL BE ACHIEVED VIA SELECTION OF APPROPRIATE INEXPENSIVE MATERIALS.
