About this award
RTX Corporation's Pratt & Whitney division was awarded a $16.26 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract on February 22, 2021, by the Office of Naval Research to advance propulsion technology under the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) Enablers Program. The contract, which runs through February 28, 2026, funds development of Ultra High Specific Flow (UHSF) fan technology with the objective of advancing the technology readiness level to 5. Work will be performed at Pratt & Whitney's Hartford, Connecticut facility, with no small business set-aside applied to this large business contractor award. Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation, operating as Collins Aerospace and also a subsidiary of RTX Corporation, was awarded a subcontract on October 5, 2021, for aircraft parts in support of the effort.
The NGAD Enablers Program represents a critical Department of Defense initiative to develop next-generation propulsion capabilities that will enhance air dominance across future military aviation platforms. Pratt & Whitney's focus on UHSF fan technology addresses a key technical gap in advanced propulsion systems, enabling improved engine efficiency and performance characteristics essential for next-generation fighter aircraft. The cost-plus-fixed-fee structure reflects the research and development nature of the work, which involves significant technical uncertainty and innovation requirements typical of advanced propulsion system development at the mid-to-high technology readiness levels.
