UTRON KINETICS LLC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: SBIR PHASE II NON ERODING HIGH TEMPERATURE PROPULSION NOZZLE MATERIALS FOR 2800 DEGC OXIDI
UTRON KINETICS LLC — SBIR Phase II award from Department of Defense.
Phase II SBIR prototype / development signal
- Phase II is where Department of Defense funds deeper R&D after feasibility. Incumbents with Phase II history are serious competitors on adjacent topics.
- Use this award as past-performance context and to map customer organizations for STRATFI/TACFI-style transition planning.
- At $1,921,008, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
- Tagged technology areas: Materials & Manufacturing, Hypersonics. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
UTRON KINETICS LLC received about $1.92 million from the Missile Defense Agency to develop durable, high-temperature materials for rocket nozzles. These advanced ceramic composites will handle extreme heat up to 2800°C without wearing away in harsh conditions.
