  We have obtained a Gemini South T-ReCS Qa-band (18.3 micron) image and a
Spitzer MIPS SED-mode observation of HD181327, an F5/F6V member of the ~12 Myr
old beta Pictoris moving group. We resolve the disk in thermal-emission for the
first time and find that the northern arm of the disk is 1.4x brighter than the
southern arm. In addition, we detect a broad peak in the combined Spitzer IRS
and MIPS spectra at 60 - 75 micron that may be produced by emission from
crystalline water ice. We model the IRS and MIPS data using a size distribution
of amorphous olivine and water ice grains (dn/da proportional to a^{-2.25} with
a_{min} consistent with the minimum blow out size and a_{max} = 20 micron)
located at a distance of 86.3 AU from the central star, as observed in
previously published scattered-light images. Since the photo-desorption
lifetime for the icy particles is ~1400 yr, significantly less than the
estimated ~12 Myr age of the system, we hypothesize that we have detected
debris that may be steadily replenished by collisions among icy Kuiper belt
object-like parent bodies in a newly forming planetary system.
