Abstract

In this MDA Phase I SBIR program, MATECH/GSM proposes to further develop and scale-up HfC structural ceramic fiber to a level suitable for low rate initial production (LRIP) of HfC ceramic fiber tow during the Phase II program for weaving and structural CMC fabrication. The resulting UHT CMCs for such missile defense applications as zero-erosion solid rocket motor (SRM) nozzles and exit cones, hypersonic leading edge materials, and ballistic nose-tips. In this Phase I program, we have brought in key propulsion contractors Aerojet and Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne.
