Abstract

Touchstone proposes to continue the development of an innovative combination of materials to provide protection from lightning and heat for large missile systems. Touchstone Research Laboratory (Touchstone) has been developing thermal protection system (TPS) concepts around its carbon foam product (CFOAM®) for several years. This material is a lightweight, high-temperature material with a low coefficient of thermal expansion and tailorable thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity. CFOAM can be easily combined with other materials to create a multi-layered system with additional protection from lightning and other threats. This sequential Phase II will build on the accomplishments of the Phase I and Phase II efforts and extend the technology readiness level and initiate design and process validation.
