The SAB is the principal technical advisory group for the Secretary of the Air Force and the Air Force Chief of Staff n?? A major part of its mission is to conduct studies at request of SecAF and CSAF on key technical issues essential to Air Force n?? Thermal management is being recognized across DoD as a major capability-limiter n?? In 2006 SAB was tasked to conduct a study on technology solutions for improved thermal management in Air Force systems Thermal Sciences Materials Workshop, Kettering, OH, 16-17 August 2011 4 Demands for TM are Growing Rapidly Increased Mission Power Increased Vehicle Survivability Increased Flight Speeds Increased Space Access Key Thermal Management Drivers Thermal Sciences Materials Workshop, Kettering, OH, 16-17 August 2011 5 U.S. Air Force “Technology Horizons” Thermal Sciences Materials Workshop, Kettering, OH, 16-17 August 2011 6 Tactical Strike Vehicles Long-Range Strike Vehicles Airbor
