Phase I

Contract Number: DAAK70-91-C-0046
Start Date: 10/1/1991    Completed: 4/1/1992
Phase I year
1989
Phase I Amount
$52,200
a thin broadband normal incidence vhf/uhf absorber will be designed. the absorber will be a laminate structure using magnetic absorbing material to provide the primary loss mechanism. the magram will be loaded with other materials to control its impedance and increase its index of refraction. impedance transformation layers will be added to control the impedance into the absorbing material. these impedance layers will improve the efficiency of the absorber and give it broadband characteristics. in addition, this study will also investigate the application of circuit analog sheets to increase absorber bandwidth

Phase II

Contract Number: DAAK70-92-C-0068
Start Date: 4/1/1993    Completed: 9/30/1993
Phase II year
1992
Phase II Amount
$770,464
Two large sized 10'x10' radar camouflage screens will be designed, fabricated, laboratory tested and delivered for field testing. The field evaluation of these screens will include more realistic conditions and geometries such as off normal performance when draped over an actual component that is to be concealed. The design methodology of Phase I will be employed.
