Sintavia has secured a significant contract from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) for the development of additively manufactured hypersonic propulsion components. This contract, part of the Growing Additive Manufacturing Maturity for Airbreathing Hypersonics (GAMMA-H) project, was awarded to Sintavia through the S²MARTS OTA managed by the National Security Technology Accelerator (NSTXL).
Under the GAMMA-H project, Sintavia will focus on developing and demonstrating robust quality and operational processes necessary for designing and manufacturing critical precision components essential for hypersonic flight. By validating these processes specifically for hypersonic propulsion components, Sintavia aims to contribute to the broader hypersonic industrial base. The contract is slated to continue through 2025.
Brian R. Neff, Founder & CEO of Sintavia, emphasized the significance of the GAMMA-H award in advancing the standard additive manufacturing processes for hypersonic production across the industry. He expressed gratitude to the GAMMA-H team for entrusting Sintavia with this critical national security initiative.
The GAMMA-H project, announced in October 2023 with a budget of $106.7 million, is a collaborative effort between the Office of the Secretary of Defense ManTech and the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division. Apart from the direct GAMMA-H award, Sintavia is involved in several other initiatives funded by the GAMMA-H project.
