About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $1.1M firm fixed-price purchase order to Arris Composites, Inc., a small business, for the development of continuous-fiber and long-fiber thermoplastic composite molding technologies applicable to aerospace structures. This Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program award represents continued federal investment in the company's innovative manufacturing approach, with work to be performed in Albany, California, and completion targeted for December 2026. The contract was awarded on September 23, 2025, under the Total Small Business set-aside designation.
The SBIR Phase II award indicates that Arris Composites successfully demonstrated the technical feasibility and commercial potential of its composite molding technology in a prior Phase I effort and has now received funding to advance the technology toward commercialization and production readiness. Thermoplastic composites offer significant advantages over traditional thermoset materials in aerospace applications, including faster processing times, improved recyclability, and enhanced damage tolerance. The Air Force Research Laboratory's investment in this technology reflects the Department of Defense's broader interest in advanced manufacturing and lightweight materials to support next-generation aircraft and aerospace vehicle development.
