ULTRAMET — Department of Defense STTR Phase II: R&D - SILICIDE COATINGS ON REFRACTORY METAL ALLOYS FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE OXIDATION PROTECTI

ULTRAMET — 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 $1,499,885 is consistent with substantial Phase II-scale effort; compare to related awards from the same agency.
  • Tagged technology areas: Hypersonics, Materials & Manufacturing. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
