$79,881Benefit:
ESS has been successfully producing similar syntactic materials and would therefore add the new 30PCF/6500M foam to its family of products, selling directly to the Navy and Oceanographic community. This would enable ESS to offer the lowest density man-rated foam available. This allows the deep diving community, including the Navy, oceangraphic researchers, ROV and AUV users, and other to go to deeper depths with larger payloads and research equipment without increasing power requirements. The Phase II portion of the work requires the immediate delivery of 100 ft3 of syntactic foam. Presently, these foam systems are sold at $2500 to $3500 per cubic foot. The Navy has also defined the need for approximately 1000 ft3 of syntactic meeting these performance requirements over the next three years. Total sales could therefore approach $1 million per year over the next three years for Navy requirements alone.
