Advanced Cooling Technologies webinar to examine thermal architectures for missile defense systems

NASHUA, N.H. - Military + Aerospace Electronics cordially invites you to learn how advanced thermal architectures are enabling next-generation defense platforms that must operate under extreme heat loads and stringent size, weight, and power constraints. This free webinar explores how engineered cooling approaches are being applied to missile defense systems, phased arrays, and advanced sensing technologies to ensure mission-ready performance in demanding operational environments. The event takes place on 14 May 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern and is sponsored by Advanced Cooling Technologies Inc. in Lancaster, Pa.

High-power defense systems, including missile-neutralization platforms and phased-array radar systems, are generating increasingly severe thermal loads while operating in harsh, dynamic conditions. As performance requirements escalate, conventional cooling approaches are becoming insufficient to ensure reliability and sustained operation.

During this session, experts will examine advanced thermal management strategies, including liquid-cooling systems, advanced heat pipe technologies, and integrated thermal architectures designed to optimize system-level performance while meeting strict size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints.

The discussion will also address how engineers can balance thermal performance with platform integration requirements and tailor solutions to mission-specific environments, particularly in defense applications where system resilience and operational continuity are critical.

Featured speakers include Greg Hoeschele, manager of the Passive Product Development Group at Advanced Cooling Technologies Inc. Hoeschele leads design strategy for advanced thermal management systems and serves as a primary engineering contact for defense-related programs. He has supported multiple high-profile defense missions, guiding thermal design decisions for terrestrial platforms.

Hoeschele holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Lafayette College and a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University.

Also speaking is Larry Bradley, sales engineer at Advanced Cooling Technologies Inc. Bradley supports the Great Lakes, Midwest, and Southern regions and previously worked in the company’s research and development organization, where his work focused on additively manufactured thermal management systems, sensing technologies, and functional materials. He holds a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Pennsylvania State University.
