MR&D engineers have been involved in thermal management design and analysis since the early 1990’s. Projects include thermal management work on various electronic applications, including avionics thermal planes and their interaction with enclosures, spacecraft radiator components and spacecraft connector components, and heat exchangers for rotary wing aircraft. Work in this field has been performed for Harris, General Dynamics Information Systems, Lockheed Martin Astronautics, Hughes Aircraft Company, the U.S. Navy and AFRL.
