About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $1.147 million Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to Endeavor Composites, Inc., a small disadvantaged business headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee. Under this firm fixed-price purchase order, Endeavor will develop hybrid reinforcement techniques for silicon carbide-carbon (SiC-C) heat shields designed for hypersonic vehicles and atmospheric reentry applications. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside, runs through November 10, 2025, and represents AFRL's continued investment in Endeavor's specialized expertise in advanced composite materials that can withstand extreme thermal environments while maintaining lightweight performance characteristics critical to next-generation defense systems.
This award reflects AFRL's strategy to leverage innovative small businesses for critical materials development supporting hypersonic and reentry vehicle programs. Endeavor's focus on reinforced carbon-silicon carbide materials aligns with the Department of Defense's broader objectives to develop high-performance thermal protection systems that reduce manufacturing complexity and costs. The company operates as a direct contractor to AFRL with no identified subcontractors, and this Phase II effort builds on its demonstrated technical capabilities demonstrated through multiple prior SBIR and STTR awards totaling approximately $3.3 million with the laboratory.
