Materials

High Temperature Ceramics

High temperature ceramics are important in applications where both weight and temperature are important performance parameters. Applications include leading edges and combustors for hypersonic flight as well as turbine and thrust vectoring components for high performance aircraft.

Antennas

Many RF applications require antennas that are customized to meet specific gain, bandwidth, and impedance needs. PSI uses a combination of sophisticated design tools, advanced materials, and low-cost manufacturing to provide customers with a wide range of antenna technologies that can be rapidly designed and produced in as little as a few days.

Laser Materials Processing

PSI is an industry leader in the development of laser processing technology for advanced ceramics and composites. PSI’s high speed laser cutting and drilling processes are enabling the cost effective manufacture of complex ceramic composites components for aerospace propulsion systems.

Batteries

New higher density energy storage solutions are required to meet the requirements of current and next generation technologies. Our unique materials, cell building and operating techniques enable cells with reduced cost and significantly enhanced safety and performance over currently available technologies.
Current activities are focused both on drop in material improvements and industry altering techniques offering increased energy and power density.

Obscurants and Chaff

Simulations have identified material properties and geometries that suggest extraordinary extinction is available for a range of wavelength bands of interest to the DoD. Our capabilities in the fabrication, dissemination and characterization of scalable engineered particles enable the realization new chaff and obscurants predicted by the simulation tools. PSI has demonstrated a range of obscurant and chaff materials that provide high extinction in wavelength regions including UV, visible, IR and RF that can significantly enhance warfighter survivability.
