reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA523625 | Open PDF

Abstract:

There is a need for high-strength, rugged materials that transmit in the visible and mid-infrared 0.4 to 5 microns wavelength region. These materials are needed for applications requiring transparent armor, including next-generation high-speed missiles and pods, as well as protection against improvised explosive devices IED.
