CPS Technologies awarded $250,000 Army contract

CPS Technologies (CPSH) has been awarded a new Phase I Small Business Innovation Research contract from the U.S. Army, marking its second such contract in 2025. Beginning in early March, CPS will focus on optimizing binder jet additive manufacturing to produce highly dense refractory tungsten alloys with complex geometries. These alloys are designed to replicate the properties of depleted uranium for potential future use in military munitions. The six-month research effort is valued at $250,000. Texas A&M University will serve as a subcontractor, conducting printing trials and providing critical expertise in binder jet additive manufacturing. In addition, CPS has received its first commercial purchase order for the continued development of radiation shielding materials. This order supports a customer’s advanced development program. Although the order is under $100,000, successful results from tests meeting program requirements could lead to follow-on orders of increasing magnitude. CPS expects to fulfill this order in 2025.
