The Department of Defense, specifically the United States Air Force, is seeking proposals for the development of cost-effective production techniques for precursor materials used in the synthesis of CL-20, a high-performance nitramine. The objective is to design, develop, and demonstrate a pilot-production method capable of synthesizing these precursor materials at a scale of up to 500 kg while ensuring control over purity, particle size, and crystal morphology. CL-20 is critical for advancing modern propulsion technologies, yet its high production costs have hindered its adoption compared to legacy explosives. Proposals must be submitted by October 23, 2024, with the opportunity being part of the SBIR program under solicitation number 24.3.
