CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION — Department of Defense STTR Phase II: R&D: DEVELOPMENT OF A NOVEL CONTROL SURFACE AND ACTUATION SYSTEM FOR HIGH LIFT-TO-DRAG VEH
CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION — STTR Phase II award from Department of Defense.
Phase II STTR 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.
- Obligated amount $1,469,708 is consistent with substantial Phase II-scale effort; compare to related awards from the same agency.
- Tagged technology areas: Hypersonics, Modeling & Simulation. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
CFD Research Corporation received over $1.4 million from the Missile Defense Agency to develop a new control surface and actuation system for hypersonic vehicles that improves lift-to-drag performance. The project uses a specialized framework called RHYME to evaluate rapid yaw maneuvers.
