Shropshire-based SDE Technology is leading a project to develop a new hybrid superplastic forming process that would enable it to expand into the aerospace market.
New materials that can withstand extreme temperatures and blasts are to be developed by DMEx, a £42.5m research partnership set up by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl).
The Defence Materials Centre of Excellence will bring together 23 partners from academia, industry and research organisations, such as the Catapult Network.
