About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This is a Definitive Contract awarded by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to Allcomp Inc. Aeronautics Division, a small disadvantaged business, for the qualification of a domestically-sourced, thermally-stable structural composite material for use in solid rocket motor divert and attitude control systems (DACS). The $2,799,711.64 Firm Fixed Price contract aims to develop and validate the manufacturability of this advanced carbon-silicon carbide (C-SiC) based insulator material through characterization testing, with the goal of qualifying it for upcoming ballistic missile defense applications such as the Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) interceptor. The contract is part of the larger MDA Support acquisition program, which provides a wide range of engineering, technical, and equipment support services to the agency. This contract award has a Small Business set-aside designation.

Description

As the agency reported it.

Qualification of needled C-SIC based structural insulator materials for solid rocket motor dacs: the need for a domestically-sourced structural composite material more thermally stable than the state-of-the-art phenolic composites has been identified as a key enabling technology that will add better control authority to pintle-based divert and ACS thrusters. By establishing a U.S. Supplier of this type of material, better source control and quality control of components can be achieved. In addition, strong structural insulators possessing thermally insulative, innate erosion resistant properties and the ability to be made into multi-functional parts will reduce part count, volume, weight, and cost (up to 50% reduction). The core C-SIC structural insulator technology proposed for this MDA rapid innovation fund (RIF) program has been proven under MDA-funded sbir programs at allcomp as well as under the MDA funded CKV program at both aerojet rocketdyne and ATK. Through this RIF program, allcomp aims to qualify the most recent variation of needled-preform based structural insulator material, as well as its processing methodology, in a two year fast-paced testing program producing a material system with optimum thermo-elastic and strength properties. Validation of manufacturability will be conducted through full material characterization testing of multiple lots to bring this material towards qualification acceptance and inclusion in upcoming ballistic missile defense system applications such as SM-3 CKV and evolved IIA, and more broadly, for other initiatives, like the airborne weapon layer dacs.
