Low Cost Malleable Metastructure Adherents for Maritime Environments

Department of DefenseNAVY

AI Overview

This SBIR seeks malleable, cost-effective metastructures that protect maritime communications and radar systems while withstanding salt, UV, and water damage. The solution must offer broadband frequency selectivity across multiple bands, conform to complex geometries, and outperform current expensive, manufacturing-constrained alternatives.

Official Description

Several industries and Department of War (DOW) systems rely on Frequency Selective Surfaces (FSS), metastructures, or comparable materials to protect critical assets, including communications, radar, and Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) systems. Similar materials are also used as protective coatings for Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) systems—particularly in airborne and maritime applications—where they are consistently challenged by harsh maritime environments. These coatings, covers, and material...
