Domestic Production of Plant-based Carbon Fiber Precursors in Support of Hypersonic Applications
This solicitation's response window has closed.
Summary
The government seeks domestic development of a plant‑based carbon fiber precursor for high‑temperature thermal protection systems used in hypersonic applications. The effort aims to replace foreign rayon‑based precursors with an environmentally friendly, U.S.–owned process that can support Navy, Army, Air Force, NASA and commercial space programs.
