Research abstract
A FORMALIZED LIGHTNING-ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN SOFTWARE AS A SMART SYSTEM AND WILL BE TAILORED TO NASA SYSTEMS SUCH AS LAUNCH VEHICLES BEFORE LAUNCH, STORED ORDNANCE AND EXPLOSIVES, SATELLITES IN STORAGE OR TEST, AND COMPUTER SYSTEMS. A NOVEL DERIVATIVE OF THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL, FINITE DIFFERENCE SOLUTION METHOD OF MAXELL'S EQUATION, VECTOR 3DFD, WILL BE USED TO CALCULATE FIELDS (CURRENTS) NEAR (ON) PHYSICAL STRUCTURES. SEVERAL NEW CONCEPTS FOR LOW-LEVEL TESTING OF STRUCTURES WILL ALSO BE EXPLORED.
