University of Dayton Research Institute, Dayton, Ohio, is being awarded a $9,899,980 cost plus fixed fee contract. The Air Vehicles directorate has for several years conducted focused research on high temperature thermal protection systems that support high-speed air vehicles. The primary application of this technology is to un- powered hypersonic technology vehicles such as those being developed in the DARPA/AFSPC Falcon Program. However, this technology has many other applications ...
