HUNTSVILLE, AL, June 18, 2026 – A Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) between Titomic USA and a U.S. military research organization will support defense sustainment, manufacturing and materials development.
The agreement establishes a framework to evaluate Titomic Kinetic Fusion (TKF), Titomic’s cold spray technology, for military applications involving survivability, readiness and manufacturing.
Titomic said the CRADA aligns with the U.S. Department of War’s 2026 National Defense Strategy and budget priorities for strengthening the U.S. defense industrial base, including missile and munition production and repair capabilities. Under CRADA, Titomic and the government organization will investigate TKF applications for repair, restoration, materials development, survivability enhancement and manufacturing.
“This CRADA underscore Titomic’s commitment to advancing defense readiness through continuous innovation in additive manufacturing technologies,” said Jim Simpson, CEO and managing director of Titomic Ltd. “Our collaboration is directly aligned with the DoW’s strategy to improve capability with enhanced innovation and aims to deliver transformational solutions for in-field repairs, lifecycle extension, and rapid-response manufacturing that directly benefit the warfighters’ capabilities.”
“The partnership will be anchored at Titomic’s advanced manufacturing and R&D facility in Huntsville, Alabama,” said Dr. Patti Dare, president of Titomic USA. “Our US facility is located within one of the nation’s most significant defense, missile, and aerospace ecosystems and positioned near key government, prime contractor, and research partners.”
