Description
The photonic laser armor using Stealth technology is made of a composite material of carbon fiber laminate, Kevlar and magnetic epoxy resin, that presents an anti-radar geometry and an outer covering of ferrofluid nanoparticles. All this follows the principles of Stealth technology to minimize radar visibility. Inside, an optical fiber and laser assembly is installed, as an impact, break or twist sensor. It was designed to detect any variation in the transmitted intensity caused by blows, impacts, twists or flexures, facilitating a real-time non-destructive analysis.Other information
Number of researchers:

Development status:
Developed but not marketed
Intellectual Property Rights:
Patent
Differentiation in the market:
Novelty
Applicability of technology:
Yes
Companies and markets:
Defense. Military. Aerospace industry.
Advantages:
The material combines Kevlar and carbon fiber properties: lightness, thermal insulation, high mechanical strength and excellent breakage resistance. Prolate spheroid geometry, with polygonal sides presenting right and obtuse angles, avoiding acute angles and edges to minimize diffraction. This geometry offers the best 360° resistance, so that the angle of the impact or the locating radar does not matter. The material is produced so that it can absorb and divert radar radiations. Potential market diversity: civil, military or both sectors.
