Energy, Combustion, and Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics

Program Description

This portfolio addresses energy needs of Air Force aerospace systems for the propulsion and non-propulsive functions of increasingly significant energy requirements. The portfolio emphasizes three foundational elements: (1) Fundamental, (2) Relevant, and (3) Game-Changing, i.e.: starting from establishing fundamental scientific understanding and quantifying rate-controlling processes, focusing on Air Force/Space Force interests and relevant conditions, encouraging multi-disciplinary collaborations, interactions and unconventional and innovative thinking, leading to game-changing concepts and predictive capabilities for the Air Force and Space Force.

Basic Research Objectives can be found in this program’s section of the BAA.

Proposers are highly encouraged to contact the Program Officer prior to developing a full proposal, preferably by email, to discuss the current state of understanding, how the research would advance it, the approximate cost for a three (3) to five (5) year effort, and if there are any specific submission target dates.
