HUNTSVILLE, AL, USA, Oct 21, 2026 – Titomic Limited (ASX: TTT) is pleased to announce that Compass Systems, Inc. has issued a purchase order valued at more than USD 400,000 (AUD 572,000) to Titomic for two TKF 623 medium-pressure cold spray systems intended for use at Fleet Readiness Center Southwest (FRCSW), the U.S. Navy’s West Coast aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility, located at Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego, California.
The procurement supports an ongoing effort led by Compass Systems for the U.S. Navy Commander of Fleet Readiness Centers to introduce advanced manufacturing technologies at aircraft maintenance and repair facilities.
Titomic Kinetic Fusion (TKF) cold spray is an additive kinetic metallization process that accelerates metallic particles at high velocity onto a substrate to deposit material without melting the feedstock. The process can be used to restore worn or damaged components to original engineering drawing dimensions, providing an additional repair capability for components that might otherwise require replacement or more extensive conventional repair with significant savings in time and material.
“This marks Titomic’s second major aircraft maintenance related order from the U.S. military in just a few weeks, highlighting the growing adoption of our unique build and repair technology for aircraft maintenance,” said Jim Simpson, CEO & Managing Director of Titomic. ”This deployment showcases how Titomic Kinetic Fusion (TKF) cold spray capabilities can transition from engineering development into practical, real-world fleet sustainment. We are incredibly proud to partner with Compass Systems and the U.S. Navy to enhance repair capabilities and improve aircraft readiness.”
Compass Systems supports the integration of advanced manufacturing and operational technologies across aircraft maintenance environments, with an emphasis on transitioning proven technologies into capabilities that can address sustainment challenges, reduce component replacement requirements and support Fleet readiness.
“Advanced manufacturing technologies such as cold spray have the potential to provide the Fleet with additional options for restoring critical aircraft components and improving sustainment capability,” said David Stricklin, Compass Systems, Inc. “Our objective is to work alongside the Navy’s engineering and maintenance communities to transition these technologies from development into practical repair capabilities that support aircraft readiness.”
The award to Titomic provides for two TKF™623 medium-pressure cold spray systems and associated support. The systems will provide FRCSW personnel with equipment to further evolve cold spray repair development while establishing production-level capability for approved aircraft component repairs.
