CERANOVA CORP — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: MDA17-005
CERANOVA CORP — SBIR Phase I award from Department of Defense.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from Department of Defense 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 $99,939. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.

Description
CeraNova conformal spinel windows that will provide enhanced performance over traditional, flat sapphire windows.Conformal spinel windows will maintain the curvature of the nose cone and will thus eliminate aerodynamic hot spots caused by flat surfaces.CeraNovas transparent ceramics and experience in manufacturing conformal optics will be leveraged to enable design and fabrication of a conformal window that will minimize image distortion for the seeker optics.CeraNovas spinel has superior properties compared to other spinels and other advanced ceramic window materials.Approved for Public Release | 17-MDA-9395(24 Oct 17)
