Abstract

general lasertronics proposes to adapt its model a600 laser coating remover to improve the efficiency of material removal and repair for low observable coatings and finishes. the model a600 is field deployable and has a portable workhead with waste capture laser safety sensors and a explosion safe design. the effort will define laser operating conditions and power/efficiency upgrades for f-117a repair.in addition to removal/repair of lo materials the technology is applicable to removal of standard paints to cleaning and decontaminination of various metals and to removal of sealant compounds.

Reading this record as an applicant

This is a contract to a company rather than a university lab, typical of small-business research programs. Awards like this rarely fund graduate students. They do tell you which firms work on a technology, which matters if you want an industry internship or a sponsor for a master’s thesis. For that trade-off, see the kinds of positions research money creates.

Start with the investigator’s faculty page and recent papers, then search their name in NIH RePORTER or NSF Award Search to see what is active now. The grant search guide walks through it.
