Military defense technologies such as missile neutralization, phased arrays, and advanced detection systems generate significant heat loads and often need to operate in harsh dynamic environments.
Join Greg Hoeschele known thermal enthusiast and Larry Bradley crusader of cold as we explore advanced thermal architectures, including liquid cooling, advanced heat pipes, and integrated system designs, that enable reliable operation of high-power defense systems.
We’ll discuss how to balance cooling performance with SWaP constraints, and how engineered solutions can be customized to meet mission-specific requirements. Join us to learn how cutting-edge thermal management strategies are supporting the next generation of defense platforms in the most demanding operational conditions.
