Plymouth company seeking additional funding for military project

A company in Plymouth is developing a portable runway for the military.

Indiana Technology and Manufacturing Companies, or ITAMCO, is part of a team developing a material that can be used by the U.S. Air Force to set-up temporary airport runways.

The company is competing for Phase II Small Business Innovation Research funding for their work on the tech, which is called phase-transforming cellular materials.

Inside Indiana Business reports the material can be 3-D printed and scaled to almost any size. ITAMCO says multiple planes can land on the material 30 minutes after it’s set up.
