Electromagnetic Energy Surface Protection

摘要

An electromagnetic energy protection system and method disclosed herein that includes a plurality of conductive sheets ohmically connected by conductive interconnects. The conductive interconnects can be metal formed by a metal deposition process. The metal deposition process can include a plasma deposition process. The conductive interconnects can help prevent the formation of surface deformities such as bumps that may be caused when connecting, either physically or electrically, adjacent conductive sheets.

1. An aircraft component, comprising:
a plurality of layers; a conductive layer disposed co-planar and proximate to the plurality of layers, the conductive layer forming an electrical disconnect region defined by a gap between adjacent conductive sheets of the conductive layer; and an interconnect comprising a conductive material that creates an ohmic connection between the adjacent conductive sheets of the conductive layer to bridge the gap in the electrical disconnect region.
