Predictive Simulation of Injury Progression is sponsored by Army SBIR|STTR Program. This topic seeks to explore technologies that can enable dynamic representations of combat-related injuries, as well as the internal processes that take place over time as the injury changes due to treatment. The goal is to provide medics with a deeper understanding of how various treatment decisions impact long-term injury recovery, which could involve augmented reality for visualization.
Drone Swarm Detection Using Artificial Intelligence Based on Ultrafast Neural Networks is sponsored by Army SBIR|STTR Program. The Army seeks drone swarm detection using artificial intelligence. Businesses should develop neural network architecture and learning processing algorithms for drone identification based on ultra-fast neural networks with low power consumption. This topic focuses on airborne drone detection via radio frequency transmissions or radar signatures.
After SBIR reauthorization, the U.S. Army released five new small-business topics under Army FUZE — Ka-Band metamaterial radar, a Li-ion 6T battery open topic, in-transit-visibility blockchain, modular UAS payloads, and the xTech|Phantum prize competition. Awards run from $150K to $300K per Phase I. But the bigger story is the Army's shift from funding parts to funding whole systems. Here is what each topic funds and how to compete.
Read articleNSF's restarted SBIR/STTR program carries two transition rules almost nobody has calendared. Project Pitch invitations issued on or after July 3, 2025 must be converted to a full proposal by November 4, 2026. Phase I awardees whose awards started on or after November 6, 2023 must submit Phase II by the same date. Both cohorts were created by the program lapse, and both cliffs are hard.
Read articleThe Energy Department's first Genesis Mission SBIR/STTR Phase I solicitation offers roughly 40 awards of up to $250,000 against $10 million — but you cannot submit a full application anymore. A four-question, 700-word pitch now decides who gets to apply, there is no Direct to Phase II path for new entrants, and the $147.4 million Phase II pool is closed to everyone who has never won a DOE award.
