Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane is seeking a prototype solution for a Thermal Protection System (TPS) capable of safeguarding an advanced missile weapon system operating at hypersonic speed and high-temperature flight profiles. The results of this prototype project will inform potential follow-on production and integration decisions for next-generation missile systems.

Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane is seeking prototype mounting system hardware for the DRAKE Mounted system to include associated hardware, TRANSALT documentation and a demonstration of the prototype for multiple Ship classes. This mounted system will also require the design of a prototype Control Display Unit (CDU).

Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane is seeking a prototype to identify technologies and solutions, which may be used to retain or improve track strength, minimize maintenance procedures, minimize cost, improve the current capabilities, and provide valuable hands-on experience to the next generation of scientists and engineers.

Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane is seeking a prototype that addresses immediate readiness requirements and sets the foundation for long-term sustainment and modernization. This effort is to establish a comprehensive solution that ensures the operational effectiveness and readiness of the AN/SPY-1 radar systems through their anticipated end of service life.

The Microelectronics Commons Call for Topics is now open. This Call for Topics (CFT) describes the desired capabilities for which project proposals are being sought. The topics will guide the next round of the prototype proposals across six technical areas that are critical to the DoD. Those areas are: 5G/6G, AI Hardware, Commercial Leap-Ahead Technologies, Electromagnetic Warfare, Secure Edge/IoT Computing, and Quantum Technology.

This S2MARTS announcement, through the NSTXL Innovation Network, is intended to survey U.S. companies that produce capacitors, magnetics and other components that are peripheral in a range of circuits and applications that employ silicon carbide semiconductors. The objective is to gather information from U.S. companies that have developed, or are willing to develop, technical and manufacturing capabilities specific to such components that are rated >100C junction temperature (Tj) and plans for future development aimed at achieving > 200C, and in the longer term, 250C Tj for commercial and defense applications.

This S2MARTS announcement is intended to survey U.S. companies in the silicon carbide defense supply chain through NSTXL’s Innovation Network. The objective is to gather information related to the extent that U.S. companies have developed, or are willing to develop, technical and manufacturing capabilities specific to the silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductor device supply chain, including substrates, epitaxy, device processing steps, packaging, and modules for > 5kV devices; and company plans for future development and sales of such devices for commercial and defense applications. Universities and industry consortia with interest in such programs are also welcome to respond.

This S²MARTS announcement is intended to survey U.S. companies in the silicon carbide defense supply chain industry through NSTXL’s Innovation Network.
