Thermal Defense Solutions, LLC is rated 3 out of 5 in the category smaller. lighter. quieter. in United States. Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) teamed with US SOCOM, US ARMY ARDEC, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) between 2008 and 2014 to develop a model-based design code to simulate the phenomenon occurring inside weapons suppressors. This allows the researchers to understand what is really happening inside suppressors, allowing better designs and more functional weapons platforms. These high fidelity codes run on high performance multi-processor computers. These computers were used to determine how the gas flows from the muzzle to the exit of the suppressor, while reducing the pressure. By manipulating the interior structure of the suppressor, and moving away from a traditional baffle design, we were able to design the system to change the rate of flow of the gas exiting the suppressor before and after the bullet. By stretching the time it takes the gas in the suppressor to vent from the initial pressurization, we minimize the acoustic signature. But by allowing a flow through system that allows the gas to move through the suppressor, we allow the suppressor to depressurize faster than a traditional baffle device, thus minimizing the time the hot gases are held in the suppressor, thus reducing temperatures by nearly half that of a traditional baffle design. In addition, this depressurization allows for a significantly reduced back pressure on the weapon, minimizing added failures typically seen, but also minimizing the combustion gases blown back in the operators face. Last, the super computers used to model the system allowed for precise placement of the venting of the gases, to allow acoustic wave sharpening, thus allowing the designer to use destructive interference of the acoustic waves to minimize sound, and produce a suppressor with enhanced acoustics, while at the same time reducing temperatures, back pressure, and flash. Thermal Defense Solutions,LLC in partnership with ORNL brings the public the most sophisticated suppressors on the planet.
