The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) awarded a $745,412 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract to Blade Diagnostics Corporation, a self-certified small disadvantaged business, to continue development of the SMARTBLEND non-destructive evaluation technology. The SMARTBLEND system is designed to lower sustainment costs for integrally bladed rotors, particularly those used in the F135 turbofan engine that powers the F-35 aircraft. This contract follows previous SBIR Phase I and II awards to Blade Diagnostics for SMARTBLEND technology. The company has established itself as a key contributor to aircraft engine testing and sustainment programs for the Department of Defense.
