The Office of Naval Research (ONR) awarded a definitive firm fixed-price contract valued at $1.34 million to Piezo Kinetics, Inc. (PKI) on September 9, 2025, with performance completion targeted for September 9, 2029. The contract supports development of textured ceramic materials that deliver near-single-crystal piezoelectric performance at significantly reduced costs compared to traditional alternatives. PKI has demonstrated laboratory-scale success with manganese-doped lead magnesium niobate-lead zirconate titanate (Mn-doped PMN-PZT) textured ceramics, which form the basis of this development effort. Work will be performed in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. This contract carries no set-aside designation and represents ONR's investment in advanced materials technology with potential applications across naval platforms and systems. The development of cost-effective piezoelectric ceramics aligns with the Navy's broader interests in affordable sensor, actuator, and transducer technologies for undersea warfare, surface ship systems, and other defense applications. The four-year performance period allows for scaling and maturation of PKI's laboratory processes toward production-ready ceramic materials that could offer substantial cost advantages while maintaining performance characteristics suitable for demanding military environments.
