The CIR for Additive Manufacturing for Energetics is restricted to Cornerstone consortium members.The U.S. Army Futures Command (AFC) has developed Cross Functional Teams (CFTs) in six critical areas as part of the Army Modernization Priorities. Within the CFTs, there exists an emerging need to energetic technology development to provide extended range and lethality overmatch. In order to achieve these overarching objectives, CCDC AC has dedicated resources to the development of additive manufacturing technologies for energetic materials.The intent of the U.S. Army is to use and integrate the prototype additive manufacturing technologies for propulsion and explosive component level prototyping and demonstrations. The technical objectives and prototypes for materials and printers will support the expansion of the industrial base in order to enable additive manufacturing printed energetic solutions.Period of performance is estimated to be 60 months. If the prototype is successful, it is possible to award a follow-on production contract.The CIR for Additive Manufacturing for Energetics will be communicated to the Cornerstone consortium and companies with pending applications via email. Entities are required to have begun the Cornerstone consortium membership process to receive the CIR and for their submitted proposal to be reviewed for consideration. Entities must be members of the Cornerstone consortium, with a signed Cornerstone Consortium Management Agreement, to be awarded this OTA task.
