About this award

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a definitive cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to HRL Laboratories, LLC on February 3, 2025, for the Structures Uniquely Resolved to Guarantee Endurance (SURGE) Phase 1 program. The contract, valued at $8.88 million with an ultimate completion date of April 2, 2029, supports research into predicting the useful life of critical structural components manufactured through additive manufacturing processes. The work will be performed in Malibu, California, and involves merging in-situ sensing, process modeling, and microstructure-based fatigue life methods to enable efficient part qualification and accelerate distributed additive manufacturing capabilities. This contract carries no set-aside designation, reflecting HRL's established status as a large business contractor with proven technical expertise in advanced manufacturing and materials science.

HRL Laboratories, a research and development laboratory jointly owned by The Boeing Company and General Motors, brings substantial experience to this effort, having previously secured multiple DARPA awards in advanced manufacturing, quantum computing, infrared sensing, and specialized electronics. The company's technical capabilities in additive manufacturing and novel materials align directly with SURGE's objectives to develop revolutionary advances in predicting structural part longevity for additively manufactured components. As a prime contractor under this definitive contract, HRL will lead the technical execution of Phase 1, leveraging its established infrastructure and expertise to deliver innovative solutions that support the Department of Defense's modernization of manufacturing capabilities and distributed production methodologies.
