This federal contract award to Fiber Materials Inc., a subsidiary of Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc., is for the development of advanced composite materials for hypersonic applications under the "COMPOSITES FOR HYPERSONICS BY INTEGRATED COMPUTATIONAL MATERIALS ENGINEERING" program. The $8,863,615.00 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, awarded by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), does not have a set-aside designation. Fiber Materials Inc. is a leading manufacturer of thermal protection systems, composite materials, and engineering services, with significant experience supporting NASA's space exploration and science missions. This contract leverages the company's expertise in producing high-temperature materials for atmospheric entry vehicles and ablative heat shields. The award is part of a larger $46 billion Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) contract held by Spirit AeroSystems with the Department of the Air Force, as well as a $15 million IDV with NASA's Glenn Research Center for the development of refractory composite databases to validate hypersonic flight structures.
