About this award
Battelle Memorial Institute was awarded a $4.82B delivery order by the Air Force Research Laboratory on September 29, 2021, to conduct research and development on variability reduction and monitoring in 2D and 3D carbon/carbon composites manufacturing under the MOC3HA program. The contract, structured as a cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangement with no set-aside designation, extends through June 30, 2025, and will be performed in Columbus, Ohio. Carbon/carbon composites are critical advanced materials used in aerospace and defense applications, particularly for thermal protection systems and hypersonic vehicle components, and this effort focuses on improving manufacturing consistency and quality control for these complex materials. The Air Force Research Laboratory's investment reflects the critical importance of advancing composite manufacturing capabilities to support hypersonic weapons development and next-generation aerospace systems.
The contract involves a comprehensive subcontractor network addressing specialized aspects of carbon/carbon composite development and production. Key subcontractors include Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (Propulsion Systems - Promontory Division) for research and development and production review activities; Fiber Materials Inc. for densification of carbon fiber materials; Carbon Carbon Advanced Technologies, Inc. (C-Cat) for carbon fabric handling and research and development; Kratos Sre, Inc. for mechanical testing of composites; Lockheed Martin Corporation for densification process research; Wichita State University for evaluation of automated manufacturing methods; ATA Engineering for technical support; and several specialized materials suppliers including Ultramet, T.e.a.m Inc., and Materials Research & Design Inc. This collaborative approach leverages expertise across leading aerospace contractors, academic institutions, and specialized materials manufacturers to advance manufacturing processes, testing methodologies, and quality assurance for carbon/carbon composites essential to national defense capabilities.
