The need to provide an effective lightning protection scheme to protect composite vehicles from the effects of lightning and other transients is increasing with more wide spread use of structural composite materials. This problem was attacked from the perspective of having structural integrity, thermal resistance to degradation, environmental resistance, repairability and meeting MIL SPEC requirements for flight vehicle airworthiness. A description of the match models, strategies, and materials are discussed. All of the schemes were tested and evaluated.
