Research abstract
This Navy SBIR Phase I proposal presents an unprecedented laser additive manufacturing system to make SiC and Al matrix composite for unmanned underwater vehicles. It is the enabling technology for manufacturing high strength unmanned vehicles with low mass. With our successful history in AM and SM processing, this proposal has a great potential to succeed. A proof of concept demonstration will be carried out and samples will be delivered at the end of Phase 1. Meter size prototype in compliant with the navy requirement will be delivered at the end of Phase II.
