Overview
Navy SBIR N232-112 (2023 solicitation, 2024 award): 'Electromagnetic Manipulation of Plasma on Hypersonic Reentry Bodies.' 'The plasma layer from hypersonic reentry serves to further propagate heat into the reentry vehicles while also increasing its radar visibility and causing a communications blackout.' 'The Navy seeks to implement developed technologies to manipulate or suppress the effects of environmental plasma with electromagnetic forces.' Navy SBIR Award 211245 (2024): 'Electromagnetic Penetration of Hypersonic Plasma Sheath to Achieve Continuous Communication During Re-Entry' — 'apply electromagnetic Energy Deposition techniques to disrupt/penetrate re-entry plasma sheaths.' Navy SBIR Award 211243 (2024): 'Low SWaP Hypersonic Plasma Mitigation Device for RF Transmission' — CFD Research Corporation — 'manipulate the plasma layer in the vicinity of the antenna aperture to allow electromagnetic waves to propagate,' 'continuous transmission during the entire flight... during the 6-minute reentry,' scalable across L-, S-, C-, X-, Ku-band. CRITICAL CONNECTION: SSP manages Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) hypersonic missile. CPS involves hypersonic plasma sheath physics. Navy is funding SBIRs for plasma manipulation on hypersonic vehicles. Pais was at SSP during CPS development. Pais is a plasma physicist. A plasma physicist at SSP during CPS development would be a natural fit for plasma sheath mitigation research.
Entity Type: Program — Navy Plasma Sheath SBIR is a government or defense program/initiative.
