IR Window and Dome Materials and Radome Technology Short Course
Deadline to Register: 4 April 2008
Registration Fee: $60
When: Monday, 28 Apr 08, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Prior to the 12th DoD Electromagnetic Windows Symposium
Where: Sparkman Center, Redstone Arsenal, AL
What and Who:
Morning Session: Infrared Window and Dome Materials. This half-day course presents an overview of optical, thermal and mechanical characteristics of infrared-transmitting window and dome materials for missiles and aircraft. Other topics include thermal shock response, rain and particle erosion, and some discussion of coatings. The latest advances in materials, testing, and designs will be highlighted. The course is directed at engineers, scientists and managers who need an introduction to properties and performance of windows and domes. The textbook Materials for Infrared Windows and Domes by Daniel C. Harris (SPIE Press, 1999) is included with your registration. The instructor, Dr. Daniel C. Harris, is a Senior Scientist in the Research Department at the Naval Air Systems Command, China Lake.
Afternoon Session: Radomes - An Abbreviated Short-Course.
The course will describe electromagnetic wave transmitting materials used on supersonic radar guided tactical missile interceptors. Fundamental structural and environmental design requirements will be discussed as well as methods to analyze the material responses to the stressors seen during flight. A discussion of test methods and ways to validate the designs, and to verify models used will be given. Several specific examples of design and testing conditions will be shown covering boresight error, mechanical integrity, thermal shock and rain damage. The course is directed at engineers, scientists and managers who need an introduction to properties and performance of practical radome design, test and evaluation. The instructor, R. Kelly Frazer, is a Principal Staff Engineer at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, MD.
How Much: The fee for the short course is $60.00. Fee includes textbook, Materials for Infrared Windows and Domes, see above.
If insufficient attendance is indicated by that date, all monies will be refunded. Your cancelled check will be your receipt. Written receipts will be given at the day of the course, if required. Please send personal or corporate checks, made payable to "R. K. Frazer, EMW Short Course" to:
