Insights
CPS secures modest Navy SBIR contract and receives first commercial order for new AlMax materials, signaling promising but early-stage business development.
CPS Technologies continues to strengthen its defense partnership through a new
The contract's technical focus aligns perfectly with CPS's materials expertise. Weight reduction in military vehicles creates a cascade of operational benefits: improved fuel efficiency translates to extended range and reduced logistics burden, while enhanced buoyancy improves amphibious capabilities. These improvements directly address the Marine Corps' need for more agile and deployable force projection capabilities.
While the contract value is relatively modest—typical for Phase I SBIR awards—the strategic importance lies in the positioning. If CPS demonstrates viable solutions during this phase, it could lead to significantly larger Phase II and III contracts. More importantly, this represents CPS's deepening relationship with naval defense programs, creating potential for longer-term production contracts.
In parallel, the first commercial order for their AlMax™ materials (Fiber-Reinforced Aluminum Composites) represents the critical transition from development to commercialization. The company became the exclusive global licensee for this technology in 2024, and securing the first purchase order—even described as "modest"—validates market interest. The material's combination of aluminum-like density with superior wear resistance and high-temperature strength addresses critical needs across multiple industries, particularly where weight and durability constraints exist simultaneously.
Together, these developments demonstrate CPS's dual-track approach: maintaining defense sector relationships while commercializing proprietary materials technologies. This balanced strategy helps mitigate the inherent risks of government contracting while building commercial revenue streams.
Receives First Commercial Order for AlMax™ Materials
NORTON, Mass., July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CPS Technologies announced today the award of its fourth Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract of the year, continuing its partnership with the U.S. Navy to support next-generation defense solutions. This Phase I SBIR contract focuses on reducing the weight of the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV), a vital transport platform for U.S. Marine Corps operations on both land and sea.
Under the six-month,
“This award underscores our growing role in supporting the evolving needs of the Marine Corps and Navy,” said Brian Mackey, President and CEO of CPS Technologies. “With the ACV family now fielded in multiple mission-ready variants, reducing weight without compromising protection or mobility is more critical than ever. We're proud to contribute to technologies that could enhance the vehicle’s performance across a range of demanding environments.”
The project will be led by Matthew Karnick, a CPS Materials Scientist and two-time SBIR award recipient, who brings a strong background in composite innovation and structural optimization.
In parallel, CPS Technologies announced receipt of its first purchase order for AlMax™ materials. In 2024, CPS became the exclusive global licensee of Fiber-Reinforced Aluminum (FRA) Composites. Originally developed by Triton Systems, Inc., the material is now being commercialized by CPS under the AlMax™ brand. Offering the density of aluminum, AlMax™ delivers superior performance, including exceptional wear resistance and greater strength at high temperatures. The AlMax logo is shown below.
“We see strong interest across multiple markets for the unique performance advantages that AlMax provides,” said Mackey. “This initial order from a domestic manufacturer, while modest in size, signals promising commercial traction. Customer feedback has been highly encouraging, and we believe this is just the beginning of a strong growth trajectory for the product.”
Together, the new SBIR contract and AlMax’s first commercial order mark significant steps forward for CPS Technologies. These achievements underscore the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation in material science and its mission to deliver practical, mission-ready solutions for government and commercial customers alike.
