May 22, 2022 – July 30, 2022 at University of Central Florida Main Campus, Orlando, FL
Application Deadline: Monday, March 13, 2022 at 11:59 PM ET.
This REU site cultivates and unites multidisciplinary interests to study advanced structures and systems with application to hypersonics, space, propulsion and energy.
Participants will gain hands on research training in contemporary challenges such as utilizing advanced manufacturing techniques for high-value components, integrating in site monitoring of stress-strain evolution, developing novel methods for improved internal cooling and heat transfer effectiveness, and mitigating flutter through advanced rotor dynamic control. Many of these challenges rely on approaches that cut across disciplines and research techniques.
Air, Missile, and Maritime Defense Technology Workshop (Hybrid)
14-15 JUNE 2022
The Air, Missile, and Maritime Defense Technology Workshop addresses a broad spectrum of current work supporting integrated defense of the homeland and deployed forces. Technical content typically spans sensor and weapon systems, electronic warfare, and battle management. Recent sessions have highlighted hypersonics, emerging missile threats, and warfare in contested domains. Attendance to this annual workshop is by invitation only and is restricted to U.S. citizens. The 2022 workshop is being planned as a hybrid event, but is subject to change.

Synopsis
High-speed vehicles are subject to complex fluid effects including shocks, turbulence, real gas effects such as dissociation and nonequilibrium energy distributions, high-temperature gas-surface reactions, and combustion. Due to these complexities, detailed experimental measurements are necessary for the successful design and optimization of supersonic and hypersonic vehicles. However, most of these phenomena are difficult or impossible to study using surface measurements due to their limited domain or physical probe-based techniques that inherently perturb the environment they aim to study. In contrast, optical and spectroscopy-based techniques offer the ability to make off-body measurements with little-to-no system perturbation of qualitative and quantitative flow properties including velocity, gas temperature, and species densities. This course aims to provide background theory on several spectroscopy techniques, technology required to execute measurements, and examples how they have been implemented previously for large scale wind tunnel testing.
Learning Objectives
- Learn basic theory related to gas-phase spectroscopy that rely on either natural luminescence in reacting gases or laser-based excitation.
- Understand basic light-matter interactions including absorption, emission, and light-scattering.
- Receive an introduction on linear and nonlinear spectroscopy methods.
- Learn about the state-of-the-art technology available for optical measurements of reacting flows.
- Gain an appreciation for the complexities encountered when applying laser- and optical-based measurements for both ground-based testing and in-flight flow sensors.

Overview
This online course will cover the most important aspects of missile aerodynamics, propulsion, guidance, lethality, system engineering, and development. The prediction methods presented in the course are generally simple closed-form analytical expressions that are physics-based, to provide better insight into the primary driving parameters. Typical values of missile parameters and the characteristics of current operational missiles are discussed as well as the enabling subsystems, technologies, and the current/projected state-of-the-art. Multiple videos throughout the lectures illustrate missile system and subsystems development activities.
Learning Objectives
