- Description
- Attachment to BAA solicitation - CDRLs Complete solicitation document The Metals, Ceramics, & Nondestructive Evaluation Division (AFRL/RXL) is soliciting for Research and Development on next generation thermal protection systems (TPS) materials and processes. The goal is the development of advanced TPS materials and processes and TPS concepts that will enable efficient and effective supersonic and hypersonic aerovehicles. The Air Force of the future will require revolutionary capabilities to achieve efficient space access and hypersonic flight. Potential applications span the spectrum from expendable missiles to reusable access-to-space vehicles. Vehicles flying at hypersonic velocities in or through the atmosphere will generate extreme heat (1800 deg F to over 2800 deg F) and innovative materials and processing solutions will be required to protect the internal systems from the extreme thermal environment. Advanced materials and concepts which are highly durable, highly capable, highly supportable/maintainable, structurally efficient, extremely light weight, and affordable are sought. The intent is not to derive precise requirements for a specific vehicle/mission and seek to meet them, since the applications are diverse. Future hypersonic vehicles will require a broad spectrum of materials and concepts to provide the properties required for efficient hot structures. This is a unique opportunity to explore innovative TPS M&P and TPS concepts that can have a revolutionary impact on systems that must survive the extreme environment associated with hypersonic flight. Address technical questions to: Dr. Paul Jero, AFRL/RXLN, Bldg 655 Rm 184, 2230 10th Street, Wright-Patterson AFB OH 45433-7817, Paul.Jero@wpafb.af.mil All communications with the technical point of contact shall be provided by e-mail.
