About this award

Advanced Technology International (ATI), a public service nonprofit based in South Carolina, received a $299.3K Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) from the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) to develop encapsulated boron particles for composite propellants. The contract was awarded on July 23, 2025, with a completion date of July 22, 2028. Akita Innovations LLC, a small business materials development company headquartered in North Billerica, Massachusetts, serves as the primary consortia member on this effort. The contract carries no set-aside designation and represents collaborative research between ATI's facilitation capabilities and Akita Innovations' expertise in advanced materials science. This work aligns with the Army's broader interest in propellant technologies and advanced material formulations critical to defense applications.

The encapsulated boron particles project falls within RDECOM's mission to develop cutting-edge materials and manufacturing solutions for military systems. Boron-containing propellants offer enhanced energy density and performance characteristics for various defense applications, making this research relevant to ammunition, missile, and explosive system development. ATI's track record managing complex research collaborations through Other Transaction Agreements, combined with Akita Innovations' demonstrated success in federal research programs including prior Small Business Innovation Research awards, positions the team to effectively execute this advanced materials development initiative over the three-year performance period.
