TEMPS – Center for Thermal Engineering for Military Power Systems
- On-board storage of high-intensity thermal energy is crucial to directed energy weapons and high-power electromechanical actuators.
- Episodic character of these heat loads enables a strategy that employs thermal storage and exploits the transient nature of the required cooling.
- Research will focus on materials matched to the principal types of thermal loads and capable of meeting critical requirements including low weight and volume, and operation in distributed or centralized modes.
- Success requires concerted efforts by researchers in areas spanning from materials to systems.
