Title:
Novel High-Energy Fuels for Robust, Field-Deployable Hypersonic Propulsion
Agreement Number:
MN5-036
Agreement Value:
$997,600.00
Agreement Date:
Jun 5, 2026 - Jul 29, 2028
Description:
Funding will support research and development to identify solutions to National Defence’s Challenge: Speed meets strategy: Building Canada’s hypersonic innovation network. The Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces (DND/CAF) in collaboration with Canada’s academic and defence & security communities are seeking to stimulate the application of hypersonic technologies, including propulsion, flight dynamics, detection, and materials, in the defence and security domain to understand these weapons. The outcomes of this Challenge concentrate on areas that align with immediate priorities in Canada’s NORAD Modernization Plan that develop expertise and advance DND/CAF understanding of hypersonic technologies in aerodynamics, propulsion, structures and materials, and flight control.
Organization:
National Defence
Expected Results:
The Department of National Defence solicited proposals to support the creation of small Innovation Networks, called micro-nets, to stimulate collaboration and innovation. The benefit to Canada and DND/CAF will be the development of a critical mass of researchers, highly qualified personnel, and expertise within the Canadian innovation community that supports basic and applied research to stimulate the application of hypersonic technologies.
