Compact Highly Loaded Grain Technology (C)

Provide a concept design with build-to-print data package, identify critical technology gaps, conduct critical component and rocket motor experiments, conduct a design for manufacturing & assembly study to identify features required to meet manufacturing and cost goals, and provide a plan to mature the launched Compact Air-to-Air Missile Highly Loaded Grain concept design to a maturity state ready to enter a Department of Defense (DOD) Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) program. This contract may also provide an option to demonstrate prototypical rocket motors fabricated to the concept design build-to-print data package and refine the data package for entry into a DOD EMD program.
