About this award
The University of Cincinnati's Sponsored Research Services Division was awarded a $898,039 cost-no-fee definitive contract by the Office of Naval Research on August 21, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 21, 2028. The contract supports research evaluating rotating detonation combustion technology applied to gas turbine augmentor systems. Under this effort, the contractor will conduct comprehensive diagnostics to characterize performance and operability metrics associated with this advanced combustion mode. The work will be performed in Cincinnati, Ohio, and no set-aside designation was utilized in the competitive award process.
This contract represents the Office of Naval Research's investment in advanced propulsion technology research, an area critical to next-generation military aviation capabilities. The University of Cincinnati's extensive experience executing complex federal research initiatives, as demonstrated through its $146.3 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and numerous Department of Defense engagements, positions it well to conduct the technical diagnostics and analysis required for this rotating detonation combustion evaluation. The three-year research timeline allows for thorough investigation and validation of this emerging combustion technology's potential applications in naval propulsion systems.
