Abstract
CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION (CVD) IS A UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY FOR FABRICATING MATERIALS WHICH CAN PROVIDE EXTERNAL PROTECTION FROM LASER AND OTHER DIRECTED ENERGY SOURCES AS WELL AS KINETIC ENERGY HARDENING AND NUCLEAR RADIATION PROTECTION FOR ELECTRONICS. IT HAS ALREADY BEEN DEMONSTRATED THAT ULTRAMET'S A200 COATING FABRICATED BY CVD IS THE "HARDES" MATERIAL TESTED TO DATE UNDER LASER RADIATION. IN THIS PROGRAM ULTRAMET PROPOSES TO DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF FABRICATING GRADED-Z MATERIALS WHICH WILL PROVIDE NUCLEAR RADIATION HARDENING AND COAT THEM WITH A200 FOR LASER PROTECTION. LASER TESTING WILL DEMONSTRATE THE EFFICACY OF THIS APPROACH.
