BALLYDEL TECHNOLOGIES INC. — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: H5
BALLYDEL TECHNOLOGIES INC. — SBIR Phase I award from National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from National Aeronautics and Space Administration in a technical approach.
- Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
- Obligated amount $124,930. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code H5 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
Ballydel Technologies will partner with the Penn State University Applied Research Laboratory (PSU-ARL) to develop a novel manufacturing approach for joining two dissimilar ceramic matrix composites (CMCs).nbsp;nbsp;Specifically, Ballydel and PSU-ARL will develop a field-assisted sintering technique (FAST) for joining 2D and 3D carbon-carbon composite planes.nbsp;nbsp;FAST is a disruptive manufacturing technique that produces sintered solids with near theoretical density, in anbsp;dramaticallynbsp;shorter period of time (lt;20 minutes), when compared to traditional sintering methods.nbsp;nbsp;The goal of this endeavor is to demonstrate the utility of this technique for the manufacture of a variety of hypersonic components, suitable for defense and aerospace applications.
