Future missile systems will require improved structure/external protection materials in order to counter new and emerging threats. Direct energy threats, including thermal or impulse lasers, particle beams, and kinetic energy weapons, are of particular importance. This program will identify integral structure/external protection material concepts that can be used to provide protection for advanced systems.
