About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $747,549 Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to Nobel Works Corp (doing business as Nobel) on February 1, 2024, for development of a pulsed detonator system designed to enable scramjet engine ignition and combustion augmentation using on-board resources. This contract, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with firm fixed-price terms, addresses SBIR Topic AF221-023 and represents continuation of innovative research initiated in Phase I. The pulsed detonator technology aims to enhance scramjet propulsion capabilities by improving ignition reliability and combustion efficiency, critical factors for hypersonic vehicle performance.
Work under this definitive contract will be performed at Nobel Works Corp's facility in Wright-Patterson, Ohio, with a completion target of November 25, 2025. As a Phase II SBIR award, this effort will advance the technology from initial feasibility demonstration toward prototype development and validation. The Air Force Research Laboratory's focus on scramjet propulsion reflects the Department of Defense's ongoing investment in hypersonic flight capabilities, where reliable ignition and combustion control are essential technical challenges. The small business set-aside designation supports innovation in this critical aerospace technology domain through direct engagement with entrepreneurial firms.
