DESCRIPTION:There is an ever-present need to ensure accurate and actionable
  information is collected using state of the art optic sensors. The troubl
 e is\, optics manufacturers are locked-in to high-cost/long-lead materials
  and complex designs because there are no other materials that perform in 
 the extreme thermal environments experienced by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (
 UAVs)\, space-based sensors\, and ballistic missile defense platforms. To 
 solve this problem\, we created ALLVAR Alloys\; the only metals in the wor
 ld with tunable thermal expansion properties. These properties allow ALLVA
 R Alloys to naturally keep optics and telescopes in focus regardless of te
 mperature while enabling smaller\, lighter\, lower-cost\, and faster lead 
 optic designs. This presentation will give an overview of ALLVAR Alloy app
 lications and discuss the current state of ALLVAR’s technology and comme
 rcialization efforts.\n\nSpeaker(s): James\, \n\nVirtual: https://events.v
