Research abstract
High-power microwaves (HPM) systems offer a leverage point against marine, ground, and air platforms by directly targeting electronics systems with precision strike capability and minimizing collateral damage. System size and precision (i.e. directionality and steerability) in most cases compete in direct tradeoffs. However, a stowable system might be broken down and stored when not in use to provide a minimal profile for marine vessels. To meet this interest, Nanohmics in collaboration with Texas State University proposes to develop a stowable metalens solution, which is spectrally-invariant, for improving antenna gain in microwave antenna systems.
