About this award
RTX Corporation's Technology Research Center was awarded a $2.36 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract by the Office of Naval Research on June 28, 2017, for predictive modeling of foreign object impact damage in ceramic matrix composites for gas turbine aero-engine applications. The contract, which had an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2023, was performed at RTX's Hartford, Connecticut facility. No set-aside designation was used for this award. This research initiative aligns with the Navy's broader investment in advanced materials and propulsion technologies critical to next-generation naval aviation platforms, where ceramic matrix composites offer significant performance advantages including improved high-temperature capabilities and reduced weight compared to traditional materials.
The contract supports the Department of the Navy's technology modernization efforts by developing predictive modeling capabilities that can assess and prevent catastrophic damage to composite engine components caused by foreign object impacts—a persistent operational concern for military aircraft. RTX Corporation's Technology Research Center brings substantial expertise in advanced materials research and aerospace applications, leveraging its established portfolio of Department of Defense research contracts. The cost-plus-fixed-fee structure reflects the research-oriented nature of the work, accommodating the uncertainty inherent in developing novel predictive methodologies for emerging composite materials in demanding aero-engine environments.
