| Abstract: |
Oceanit's approach is to develop an optically transparent radar absorbing material with super-hydrophobic characteristics comprised of a set of carbon nanotube (CNT) coating layers that adhere to the optical window ports of the imaging system and provide X-band radar protection without compromising optical performance in the visible and infrared spectrums. Oceanit will also research and develop a radar absorbing material (RAM) for the metal or composite casing of the periscope mast sensor head using more conventional RAM and classic dielectric layering techniques. |
| Benefits: |
An optically transparent radar absorbing material can be used in the mobile device and plasma display industries to provide EM shielding for optical interfaces. |
