As a prime contractor, Erg Aerospace has received awards from the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research, the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory, and NASA Shared Services Center to conduct research, develop prototypes, and manufacture metal foam materials, components, shields, and heat exchangers.

Specific goods and services Erg Aerospace has provided through past federal contracts include research and development of metal foam shielding for hypervelocity impacts, duo-cell metal foams with specialized properties, air-oil separators, acoustic liners with advanced heat shielding, and custom metal foam heat exchangers, as well as manufacturing services for metal bars, sheets, and shapes. The contract awards have been funded by the Office of Naval Research, Air Force Research Laboratory, and NASA Shared Services Center, with most contracts set aside for total small businesses and some with no set-aside designation. Erg Aerospace has received Phase I and Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) awards as a prime contractor.

ERG Aerospace has been manufacturing open-celled, solid ligament metal foams called Duocel since 1967. Producing foamed metals, carbons, and ceramics for the aerospace, defense, semiconductor mfg, biomedical, and scientific industries. ERG has amassed a great deal of engineering mastery over the past 40 years, expertise in both designing and manufacturing Duocel foam metal components. Heat exchangers, energy absorbers, air/oil separators, baffles, CO2 scrubbers, acoustic, filters, flame arrestors, electrodes, optics/mirrors, cryogenic tanks, EMI shields and biomedical applications are just a few products. Foam can be bonded/brazed, heat treated, machined, plated, Chem filmed, NDT and DT testing as well.
