SBIR/STTR Award attributes
Mentis Sciences Inc. proposes to develop Technical Data Packages and generate Source Approval Requests for critically needed components for the Air Launched Cruise Missile engine platform, the F107, which is no longer supported by the OEM. The supply of some spare parts may be exhausted as early as Oct 2018, on a system that is scheduled to remain in service through at least 2030.Mentis will work closely with the F107 engineering team to identify and prioritize the need for the under-supported parts.Mentis will then complete Source Approval Requests for as many components as possible with the available time and funding. Prototypes will be fabricated to facilitate rapid approval and insertion. By the end of the program, Mentis will have met the immediate supply needs of the F107 program. At the programs conclusion Mentis will be an approved supplier, and actively supplying multiple critically needed components for the F107 program.In addition, all appropriate quality standards will be met to qualify Mentis to pursue other reverse engineering opportunities on the F107 program, as well as other under-supported aerospace systems.
