ULTRAMET — Department of Defense STTR Phase I: STTR PHASE I TOPIC DLA25D-003 ULTRAMET, INCREASED PREFORM PRODUCTION CAPACITY FOR CF/ZRC C
ULTRAMET — STTR Phase I award from Department of Defense.
Phase I STTR 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 $100,000. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Tagged technology areas: Hypersonics, Materials & Manufacturing. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
Ultramet won a $100,000 Phase I STTR award from the Defense Logistics Agency to expand production of specialized heat-resistant composite materials for hypersonic vehicles and related uses. The project focuses on increasing capacity to make carbon-fiber/zirconium-carbide preforms.
