AFWERX runs the Department of the Air Force SBIR/STTR program using an open-topic model that describes capability gaps and lets small businesses propose their own dual-use solutions. Applied Artificial Intelligence, Collaborative Combat Aircraft, and Small Unmanned Aerial Systems are among the DAF's critical technology priorities.
Phase I feasibility studies run about 3 months at up to $75,000 (SBIR) or $110,000 (STTR); Phase II prototyping runs up to 21 months at up to $2,000,000; Direct-to-Phase-II is up to $1,250,000; and follow-on STRATFI/TACFI awards range from $375,000 to $15,000,000 with matching requirements. Solicitations open on a rolling basis and applicants benefit from securing a signed Customer Memorandum from an Air Force end user.

The Department of the Navy pre-released FY26 Release 3 SBIR/STTR on June 3, 2026 — 12 BAA topics and one Commercial Solutions Opening for Counter-Unmanned Air Systems. Topics span adaptive sensor management, anomalous behavior detection, satellite imagery optimization, real-time zero-trust data for combat systems, and gun weapon systems modernization. Technical questions cut off June 23. Proposals open June 24 and close July 22. NAVAIR and NAVSEA co-host a Counter-UAS webinar June 16. Phase I funding tops out at $315,000.
