Press Releases

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a program from the U.S. Air Force to develop a flexible multi-layer emissivity control coating (F-MECC) for passive thermal regulation of various spacecraft.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a contract from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to develop a compact checkpoint sensor for the non-contact detection and identification of hazardous chemicals in containers.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a research program from the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to develop a combination of advanced, high-sensitivity diagnostics for direct measurements of plasma electron density and electron energy distribution function (EEDF), using the complementary techniques of microwave interferometry and Stark broadening.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a program from the U.S. Air Force to develop a launch hardened docking mechanism that can provide on-orbit servicing and refueling while dually operating as a restraint interface that can survive launch loads.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has received a research program from the U.S. Air Force to develop a bench level atmospheric and laser guide star (LGS) simulator for characterizing adaptive optics (AO) components.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a contract from the Naval Air Warfare Center to develop a compact, Raman sensor for non-contact, depth resolved measurements of solid rocket motor propellant.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a program from the U.S. Air Force to develop a capability to produce a low-cost, UAV-portable high-power microwave (HPM) weapon for C-UAS.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has received a Civilian Commercialization Readiness Pilot Program (CCRPP) award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to produce variable emissivity, low absorptivity radiator (LAVER) tiles to be applied to radiator panels for passive thermal regulation of spacecraft.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a research program from the U.S. Army to develop and demonstrate vat polymerization capabilities with an ultra-violet (UV) curable energetic polymer binder that will be used to produce gun propellant grains.

Vat polymerization will present the opportunity for performance gains through highly engineered complex structures. Formulation trade studies demonstrate that PSI’s innovative energetic, printable binder can replace inert binders to improve thermodynamic energy in gun propellants.

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a program from the U.S. Army to develop a novel, safe and cost-effective processes for the commercial manufacture of a highly valuable ETPE (BAMO-AMMO) that is suitable for formulating advanced, high-performance materials.
