Description
The loom developed by the BRM team is the most advanced and versatile loom ever built by BRM. The servo control of all movements in the weaving operation, combined with BRM’s experience of weaving novel structures is a true game changer, advancing BRM’s ability to supply woven preforms which were unobtainable until now. Now that the loom is built and a proof of concept has been woven on the loom (TRL 4), BRM would like to team up with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) on a direct to Phase II effort, to support a materials and process (M&P) engineering effort to transition the innovative process into a production capability to support the Department of Defense (DoD) and provide materials to develop future U.S. defense modernization priorities.
