About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded General Electric Company's GE Research division a $7.5 million definitive contract on February 26, 2021, for the High Enthalpy Aperture Technology (HEAT) program. Under this cost-no-fee arrangement, GE Research is developing advanced aperture materials capable of withstanding extreme thermal and dynamic pressures to enable hypersonic operational capabilities. The work, performed in Schenectady, New York, is expected to conclude by August 26, 2025, and involves the development and demonstration of innovative radio frequency and infrared aperture materials through Phase I activities, with potential Phase II extensions to further mature the technologies. This is a full and open competition award with no small business set-aside designation.

GE Research is executing the HEAT program with support from three subcontractors: GE Aviation (which provides electromagnetic testing capabilities through its over-3,000-square-foot Electromagnetic Lab), Georgia TECH Applied Research Corp (GTARC), which is developing a three-dimensional COMSOL modeling framework for thermal, mechanical, and electromagnetic properties prediction, and Materials Research & Design Inc. (Mr&D), which is conducting parametric vehicle integration modeling and thermo-structural design analysis. This collaborative approach leverages GE's core research and engineering capabilities alongside specialized expertise in advanced materials modeling and testing to meet DARPA's objectives for next-generation hypersonic aperture technologies.
