Core4ce’s subsidiary Azimuth Corp. received a $98.7 million ceiling modification to its Air Force Research Laboratory Materials Research and Survivability Studies II contract.
“Our decision to join forces with Azimuth Corporation last year was rooted in the unique expertise and trusted relationships they’ve built across the defense community. This contract modification reflects how that foundation is enabling us to broaden the scope and impact of our work together,” said Mike Morehouse, CEO of Core4ce.
“Within Core4ce’s Advanced Mission Solutions unit, we are combining our strengths in data and AI with Azimuth’s materials science capabilities to deliver reliable innovation. This award underscores AFRL’s confidence in our team and the progress we’re making to keep U.S. forces ahead of evolving threats.”
The modification raises the cumulative contract value to $196 million, and extends research efforts through March 2032 at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, the company said.
The MaRSS II program drives innovation in advanced photonic materials to improve performance of U.S. aircrew, sensors, components and mission systems. Research in advanced optical and photonic materials includes engineered structures, non-linear electromagnetic technologies and advanced laser components.
“Every material we develop begins with the end mission in mind, which includes protecting against extreme environments, enabling next-generation sensors, or enhancing survivability,” said Valerie Rossi, senior vice president of Advanced Mission Solutions at Core4ce. “This contract award builds on our decades of collaboration with AFRL and ensures that the warfighter has access to cutting-edge photonics technologies to meet tomorrow’s operational challenges.”
