The Department of Defense, specifically the Navy, is seeking innovative solutions through the SBIR program for the development of improved heat blanket technology for aircraft composite bonding operations. The primary objective is to create a militarized heat blanket that ensures uniform heating without dead spots or heat sinks, which is crucial for achieving structurally sound repairs on composite aircraft components. This technology is vital for addressing current challenges in composite hot bonding, particularly for complex geometries that require precise temperature control during repairs. The solicitation is open for submissions from May 15, 2024, to June 12, 2024, with further details available at the official SBIR website. Interested parties are encouraged to review the requirements and prepare their proposals accordingly.
