- Description
- Notice of Contract Action (NOCA) Performance of optical elements in Air Force state-of-the-art systems is often limited by the optical coatings that can be applied versus the inherent properties of the component optical materials composing the system. The abilities and life-cycle of these coatings are limited by the thermo-mechanical stresses that appear during manufacturing, storage, and operational use. The combination of low volume production and high performance requirements limits the value of iterative designs coupled with physical production runs and testing. The Air Force Research Laboratory Material's & Manufacturing Directorate (AFRL/RX) aspires to improve manufacturing yields, system performance and system life cycle costs through an improved understanding of the transient and permanent thermo-mechanical stresses inherent in a coating design based on the production, storage, and operational use attributes during the design cycle.
