SBIR-STTR Award

Modern infrared imagers can potentially detect the thermal signature of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)s used by the U.S. Warfighter, potentially affecting mission outcome. To overcome this, Luna proposes to develop a novel, environmental safety and occupational health (ESOH)-friendly coating for thermal and infrared control. The coating will consist of Luna’s propriety resin chemistry and appropriate fillers to reduce the thermal/infrared signature to desired levels. The coating will be safer than current solutions on the market.

Advancements in thermal/infrared imaging can potentially permit improved detection of assets critical to the U.S. Warfighter, potentially affecting mission outcome. In other situations, improved heat trapping/thermal management may also be beneficial, especially in cold environments. To meet thermal management needs like these, Luna Labs proposes to develop a high-performing but more occupational health (ESOH)-friendly coating for thermal and infrared control. The coating will consist of unique resin chemistry and appropriate fillers for desired level of thermal management. The coating will have low ESOH risk.
