Leveraging Expertise in Injection Molding to Enhance Munitions Performance

NORTON, Mass., Sept. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CPS Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:CPSH) (“CPS” or the “Company”) is proud to announce the award of a Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) contract, funded by the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM). Building on the success of the earlier Phase I program, this two-year contract supports the Company’s strategic focus on addressing complex customer requirements. With $1.15 million in funding, CPS will further its development of a controlled fragmentation tungsten warhead, with an initial focus on a 40mm variant. This new award marks the Company’s fifth new federally funded project of 2025 and its third successful conversion of a Phase I program to Phase II since June of 2024.

Dr. Mark Occhionero, PhD, will continue as the principal investigator for this project. CPS Technologies’ proprietary injection molding process, which enables the production of highly detailed tungsten features, is critical to this effort. This innovative manufacturing approach provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional labor-intensive machining, offering improved precision in warhead design and functionality.

“We are thrilled to advance this work in support of the U.S. military’s requirements,” said Brian Mackey, President & CEO of CPS Technologies. “The initial Phase I effort delivered very promising results under Dr. Occhionero’s guidance. With this contract, the prototypes we develop will undergo rigorous testing to meet the Army’s demanding performance standards.”

Mackey further emphasized the importance of Dr. Occhionero’s contributions: “Mark Occhionero’s nearly 40-year tenure with CPS is a testament to his deep expertise. Among his many contributions, he has been instrumental in guiding the continued development of our injection molding process, which over the years has resulted in literally millions of successful product shipments. Now, his innovative application of this core technology can address challenging defense requirements.”

The New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center (“EMRTC”) will partner with CPS as a subcontractor during Phase II. EMRTC is an internationally recognized research and training center committed to artillery research and testing.
