Compact High Energy Density Capacitors For Pulsed Field X-Ray Generators
Summary
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) seeks ultra‑compact, high‑voltage, high energy density capacitors and advanced dielectric materials to enable portable X‑ray radiographic imaging systems. The effort focuses on developing reliable fabrication processes that meet stringent size, voltage, and durability specifications for pulsed power applications, which are critical for miniaturized directed‑energy and missile defense technologies.
