Authority: 15 USC 3715; PIA Recipient: Montana State University Title of Effort: MilTech 3 The primary objectives of MilTech 3 are to respond to urgent requests for technology enhancement support with rapid transition, design review, supply chain or other capabilities to ensure that critical technologies are field in a timely manner; support DoD technology transfer and transition efforts with technology scouting, viability assessment and technology funding portfolio analysis and support platforms; ensure that these platforms are developed and maintained to comply with NIST, cyber and other information technology requirements and regulations. 2) Award number: FA8650-23-2-2402 Total amount is $575,000. Authority: 10 USC 2358, Grant. Recipient: Ohio State University of Columbus, OH Title of effort: Focused Analysis of Surface distortion (FAST). This effort will characterize the parametric limits for which deformation of a vehicle surface influences the effectiveness of downstream control surfaces. The FAST team proposes a new, technology-maturation focused initiative to establish critical guidelines and best practices for the inclusion of the effects of distorted vehicle surfaces in the design of emerging reusable hypersonic platforms. Simulations will use the DoD Kestrol Flow Solver to facilitate the direct transition of new capabilities into future simulations of emerging hypersonic systems.
