Meta-lattice composite materials for survivability and resilience of satellites from high-power microwaves

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Directed energy systems, based on high-power microwaves (HPM), have become a significant threat to defence satellites. Advanced technologies for protecting on-board electronics against HPM weaponry are among the most urgent demands for enhancing satellite survivability and resilience. This project will develop novel ultralight meta-lattice composites as a solution to tackle this crucial challenge. The latest advances in topology optimization methodologies and their correlated numerical methods will be unified with additive manufacture, towards a generative design system to create multifunctional metacomposites, built for protection. This project empowers Australian Defence with a sovereign capability in space through technology innovation.
