The AFRL Materials and Manufacturing Directorate is continuing to provide revolutionary lightweight hybrid carbon composite processing technology applied to heat transfer applications for aircraft potential transition and more demanding Mega Watts Direct Energy cooling. Early materials have been transitioned in space and optimization is necessary to down select the most promising concepts for aircraft application. Two key thermal management component areas for payoff will be updated for carbon composite heat exchangers and avionic hybrid carbon enclosures. The ASC Wing Command had committing up to a USDM processing investment in transition potential, with element cover testing of CE manufacturing for affordability, producibility and test demonstration verification. Multi USDM AFRL/MLBC SBIR programs are providing advanced manufacturing techniques which apply to cost competitive replacement of metal components listed above. Composite materials are being transitioned to component applications to other AFRL Directorate. Potential innovative of thermal management composite material are being examined with NASA Huntsville.
