About this award
Carbon Carbon Advanced Technologies, Inc. (C-Cat), a small business manufacturer of advanced high-temperature composites based in Kennedale, Texas, was awarded a $1.25M Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract by the Air Force Research Laboratory on September 1, 2023. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside, focuses on developing carbon-carbon composites enhanced with ceramic matrix materials via reactive melt infiltration technology for scramjet duct applications. The work is scheduled for completion by December 1, 2026, and will be performed in Arlington, Texas. This effort builds upon successful Phase I research and represents continued federal investment in domestic advanced materials capabilities critical to hypersonic propulsion systems.
The contract aligns with the Air Force Research Laboratory's broader initiatives to advance hypersonic technologies and thermal protection systems for next-generation defense applications. C-Cat has established itself as a specialized supplier in this domain through multiple prior awards from defense agencies including the Missile Defense Agency and NASA, demonstrating technical competency in composite material development and manufacturing. The reactive melt infiltration technique being developed under this contract offers potential improvements in material performance and production scalability for demanding scramjet environments, contributing to the modernization of U.S. hypersonic capabilities.
