About this award
Creare LLC, a small business engineering research and development firm headquartered in Hanover, New Hampshire, has been awarded a $1.99 million Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II contract by the Office of Naval Research. The definitive contract, awarded on September 25, 2024, with a completion date of September 30, 2028, is structured as cost-plus-fixed-fee and carries a total small business set-aside designation. The contract focuses on developing a lightweight turbogenerator for vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), with Creare adapting an existing turbogenerator design originally developed for ground power applications to meet the requirements of VTOL systems.
The prime contractor has engaged two major subcontractors to support execution of the effort. Locust Power, Inc., awarded a subcontract on November 19, 2024, will serve as the primary technical partner, responsible for developing a detailed turbogenerator design and providing support for manufacturing and testing activities. The Texas A&M University System, through an award dated December 20, 2024, will contribute specialized expertise in air bearing design, analysis, and procurement—critical components for enabling the lightweight characteristics required for UAV-integrated power generation systems. This collaborative approach leverages Creare's extensive experience in advanced aerospace and defense technologies with complementary expertise from both an established power systems company and a major research institution.
