MAVERIC Hub consists of co-located laboratory, test, and fabrication capabilities that enable calibration, testing, and rapid prototyping. MAVERIC Hub assists researchers to rapidly apply the iterative engineering process as they develop, adapt, and deploy technical measures across the test bed. MAVERIC Hub currently resides on the first floor of Sandia’s Center for Global Security and Cooperation (CGSC) building.
Facilities
The mechanical lab enables rapid production using metals, plastics, composites, and adhesives via industrial machining and additive manufacturing processes. The lab is comprised of two spaces: a metals lab and a plastics lab.
The electrical engineering lab focuses on the development of detectors, sensors, and other electrical parts, providing the means to research, design, test, and analyze monitoring and verification components.
MAVERIC Hub is the central location for much of the wireless and ethernet communication infrastructure across the test bed, and facilitates comms connections across the test bed.
The radiation detection lab is a dedicated space for testing and calibrating radiation detection technologies used for monitoring and verification applications.
Modeling and simulation tools such as radiation transport codes enable MAVERIC staff to assess the feasibility of ideas, modifications, and applications before integration.
The integration lab enables part assembly and testing, and are staging areas for pending or active experiments. The main integration lab houses equipment for thermal testing and impact testing.
