CPS Technologies awarded $140,000 SBIR contract by U.S. Marine Corps

CPS Technologies (CPSH) announced the award of its fourth Small Business Innovation Research contract of the year, continuing its partnership with the U.S. Navy. This Phase I SBIR contract focuses on reducing the weight of the Amphibious Combat Vehicle for U.S. Marine Corps operations on both land and sea. Under the six-month, $140,000 award-with an optional six-month extension worth an additional $100,000-CPS will apply its deep expertise in advanced materials and composite engineering. The goal: to identify and evaluate vehicle components, such as armor, suspensions, and hatches, that can be redesigned with lightweight alternatives to improve fuel efficiency, buoyancy, and operational range.
