The Navy intends to employ High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) for degaussing (DG) cables on future Navy platforms. The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) is the first Navy platform targeted for this technology. The objective of this project was to reduce cost and address cryostat configuration and manufacturing issues associated with fabricating long-length, flexible, vacuum-jacketed cryostats that meet Navy shipboard performance requirements. Ultimately, a U.S. manufacturing capability was to be developed by adapting processing techniques at an existing facility for manufacturing electrical conduit.
