About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $38.6 million definitive contract to Wichita State University for manufacturing and modeling research supporting affordable, sustainable composites on September 29, 2023, under a cost-no-fee pricing structure with ultimate completion on January 30, 2029.
The work stems from AFRL's Structural Materials and Applications mission, which encompasses ceramic matrix composites, polymer matrix composites, metallic materials, and composite performance prediction technologies to enable higher efficiency propulsion systems, lightweight structures for space vehicles and hypersonics applications, and thermal protection systems. Place of performance is Wichita, Kansas.
Wichita State University is performing the prime contract with subcontractors including the University of Texas at Arlington, the University of Utah, Southwest Research Institute, and the University of Dayton Research Institute. UTA and University of Utah task orders focus on validating the BSAM progressive damage analysis tool using in-situ and ex-situ x-ray microcomputed tomography; Southwest Research Institute and University of Dayton Research Institute are developing validated process-to-performance methods to predict bonded and fastened structure performance and an integrated software framework to forecast as-manufactured connection geometry, material state, and damage evolution under service loads using ICME validation and verification best practices.
