Army SBIR|STTR Program

Army SBIR|STTR Program is sponsored by U.S. Army. Supports small businesses in developing innovative technologies for military applications, including digital media and game development.

Army SBIR|STTR Program – Small business igniting big innovation Read the FY25 Army SBIR|STTR Performance Report . The Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR|STTR) Program aligns innovative small businesses with critical U.S. Army priorities to turnover game-changing solutions to our most critical customer—the Soldier.

Executed under the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology and as part of the Army FUZE portfolio, SBIR|STTR helps small businesses overcome challenges to working in government research and development by expanding access to sustained funding and transition pathways. Innovation Through Collaboration Our partnership doesn’t end with an award.

We work with you every step of the way to accelerate your technology and propel you to success.

Break down barriers to working with the Army Partner with small businesses to meet Army research and development needs Stimulate technological innovation Connect awardees with subject matter experts to guide technology maturation It starts with a white paper To transition into the hands of the soldier We’re scoping the tech landscape, focused on where market growth intersects with Army needs. Let’s work together.

Please do not fill in this field. Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology ASA(ALT) releases contract opportunities on an ad-hoc basis to meet Army research and development needs. Army Futures Command (AFC) releases topics during three specific solicitation periods throughout the fiscal year to address the Army’s current and anticipated war-fighting technology needs.

Army STTR follows AFC’s topic release schedule but partners with a university, federally funded research and development center, or a qualified non-profit research institution as part of their contract. Is the opportunity to establish the scientific, technical, commercial merit and feasibility of your proposed innovation. Is focused on the development, demonstration and delivery of your innovation from Phase I.

Represents the commercialization phase of the program in which the company can market their products or services developed in Phase II, either to the government or in the commercial sector. Allows small businesses to submit to Direct to Phase II applications if they performed the Phase I research through other funding sources. Provides funding to projects that require additional funding during their open Phase II contract.

A Phase II Awardee may receive one additional, sequential Phase II award to continue the work of an initial Phase II award. The sequential Phase II award has the same guideline amounts and limits as an initial Phase II award.
