ATK recently declared that it has been chosen to offer the Thermal Control Subsystem for the Integrated Sensor is Structure (ISIS) program by Lockheed Martin.
The order forms a key part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ISIS Airship. The airship-based autonomous remote controlled sensor developed by Lockheed can identify both ground and air targets. The nature of work to be carried out on the ISIS program will include design, development, building, and testing of hardware for heat acquisition and transport, and heat rejection for two entire thermal systems. The basic design for both systems will be a pumped two-phase fluid loop interfacing with big lightweight radiator panels that are linked to the power bay of the vehicle. The job will be carried out at ATK's Beltsville, MD unit.
ATK is a designer and producer of integrated thermal control systems used in military, intelligence, commercial, civil and international applications, with facilities in 24 states, Puerto Rico, and across the globe.
