Domestic industrial base for ultra-high temperature ceramic and C/C composite materials for hypersonics
Air Force/AFRL and DoD efforts to establish scaled, affordable US production of UHTC-yielding preceramic polymers and C/C-UHTC composites for hypersonic and thermal protection applications, including SBIR topics such as DAF27BZ01-DV009 under the DoW SBIR 2027 BAA, funding, supply chain and industrial base policy, transition to programs, and congressional oversight.
