The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) received a $799,993 project grant award from the Office of the Secretary of Defense under the Basic, Applied, and Advanced Research in Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 12.630). The award funds research into novel architected materials for drag reduction and flow control in hypersonic vehicles through May 2027. The grant program supports basic, applied, or advanced scientific research contributing to Department of Defense technology development missions. As the prime awardee, UTSA will leverage its engineering expertise to conduct research and analysis of innovative materials with applications for hypersonic flight. UTSA's parent organization, the University of Texas System, may provide unspecified research support services as a sub-awardee, drawing from diverse research capabilities across several universities within the system. The award period began in May 2023 and is scheduled to conclude in May 2027.
