Carbon-Carbon Structures with Embedded Electronics

The Department of Defense, specifically the Navy, is seeking innovative solutions through the SBIR program for the development of carbon-carbon (C/C) structures with embedded electronics, aimed at enhancing capabilities for hypersonic applications. The primary objective is to create high-tolerance C/C structures that can integrate antennas or other electronic components without the need for external covers, ensuring robust performance under extreme environmental conditions. This initiative is critical for advancing the design and functionality of future weapon and space systems, with potential dual-use applications in commercial sectors such as ocean and space exploration. Interested parties should note that the solicitation is set to open on January 8, 2025, with proposals due by February 5, 2025, and further details can be found at the provided source link.
