Research abstract
Modern infrared imagers can potentially detect the thermal signature of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)s used by the U.S. Warfighter, potentially affecting mission outcome. To overcome this, Luna proposes to develop a novel, environmental safety and occupational health (ESOH)-friendly coating for thermal and infrared control. The coating will consist of Luna’s propriety resin chemistry and appropriate fillers to reduce the thermal/infrared signature to desired levels. The coating will be safer than current solutions on the market.
