Mott Corporation, headquartered in Farmington, Connecticut, USA, has announced a $1.9 million award from the US Department of Defense for the development of additively manufactured components, made from advanced porous materials, for use in hypersonic systems.

The Other Transaction (OT) Agreement award, through the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division (NSWC Crane), will support the Joint Hypersonics Transition Office.

Hypersonic systems are designed to operate at speeds exceeding five times the speed of sound (above Mach 5). These high-performance systems require specialised lightweight designs that can withstand extreme conditions.

“Mott has built a reputation for delivering disruptive solutions at record speed through collaboration with its customers,” stated Sean Kane, GM of Aerospace & Defense at Mott Corporation. “While defence and space industries are pushing technology boundaries, we also must drive cost savings for long-term sustainability. Mott is proud to embrace the challenge of furthering hypersonic technology and build on our heritage as a trusted partner in the defence industrial base.”

This OT Agreement follows Mott’s $10 million federal grant for clean energy technology. These two significant federal agreements are said to underscore Mott’s growing impact and leadership in delivering mission-critical, customisable solutions for the Department of Defense and other domestic partners.
