Choosing between survivability concepts early in development takes a thermal model you can trust.
In our blog, Validated Thermal Modeling for High Energy Laser Weapon Systems: Bridging Simulation and Reality, Dr. Corey Packard applies a validated MuSES model to a battery-powered UAV and compares a baseline configuration with one that includes a conceptual survivability package. The goal isn't a recommended design. It's a repeatable process for weighing candidate concepts against relevant damage thresholds before program commitments are made.
That confidence comes from the validation work that precedes it, where the same model reproduces published laboratory measurements of laser heating in both time and space.
