Almmii - hypersonic thermal management research

The Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research awarded a $4.8 million Project Grant to the American Lightweight Materials Manufacturing Innovation Institute (Lift) to support research on hypersonic thermal management from May 14, 2021 to June 30, 2023.

Under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300), Lift will conduct applied research and technology development with the goal of improving naval operations capabilities. Specifically, the funding will support Lift's work on hypersonic vehicle thermal management, a key technology challenge for long-duration, high-speed flight. The Basic and Applied Scientific Research program aims to stimulate superior research with potential for enhancing naval operations through partnerships with educational institutions, non-profits, and research organizations. Lift's thermal management research aligns with this goal of developing technologies to strengthen the U.S. Navy's operational effectiveness.
