About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $7.998 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on May 24, 2023, for the SWIFT (Speed with Innovative Flowpath Technology) program, developing a digital twin framework for additive manufacturing of continuous fiber composites.
The contract performs at Elkton, Maryland and runs through February 29, 2028. The originating solicitation, posted February 28, 2022, calls for integrated computational materials engineering tools to evaluate additive manufacturing processes for attritable air vehicles, comparing speed, cost, and accuracy of digital-assisted versus traditional methods for achieving material allowables. Northrop Grumman's Weapon System Division, operating as CCI Speer, leads the effort with subcontractors Physical Sciences Inc., Materials Research & Design Inc., Exothermics Inc., and Kratos SRE providing advanced materials research, testing, and ceramic manufacturing capabilities across program phases dating from September 2023 through March 2026.
