About this award
The Missile Defense Agency awarded a $3.5M cost-plus-fixed-fee research and development contract to Advanced Silicon Carbide Materials LLC on June 21, 2023, for laser weapons optics technical risk mitigation. The award was made through a Broad Agency Announcement solicitation that sought innovative science and technology research supporting missile defense capabilities, with areas of interest including directed energy, materials, and optical technologies. Advanced Silicon Carbide Materials LLC, a woman-owned small business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm based in Lihue, Hawaii, specializes in advanced ceramic technologies and optical systems for defense applications. The contract contains no set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion by March 31, 2026.
This contract builds on Advanced Silicon Carbide Materials LLC's established track record with the Missile Defense Agency, which has awarded the company over $19M in research and development contracts focused on advanced materials and optical solutions for missile defense systems. The company's prior work includes significant projects on adaptive optics designs and transparent silicon carbide windows for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system. The laser weapons optics technical risk mitigation effort will address critical material science and optical engineering challenges in directed energy weapon systems, leveraging the contractor's expertise in high-temperature materials and ceramic optical technologies performed at the Hawaii facility.
