## Related SBIR/STTR Opportunities(3) ### Active xTech|Kinetic Reach Competition - DOD The U.S. Army, in partnership with U.S. Army Europe and Africa and the Global Tactical Edge Acquisition Directorate, is hosting the xTech Kinetic Reach competition to identify innovative force sustainment solutions from small businesses.
Participants must submit technologies addressing one of six core capability areas: uncrewed ground payload transportation, autonomous container handling, future power generation, autonomous forward arming and refueling, uncrewed aerial payload transportation, or uncrewed automated ground recovery systems.
Technologies will be evaluated on their ability to operate with minimal oversight and low signatures in high-threat, GPS and communications degraded environments, with selected finalists participating in a live Soldier exercise anticipated for November 2026.
The competition will award up to $1,500,000 in cash prizes, and winning eligible U.S. small businesses will have the opportunity to submit a Direct to Phase II Army SBIR proposal worth up to $2,000,000 with a 12-to-18-month performance period.
### Active Ground-Based Affordable Mass (G-BAM) - DOD The Department of War, in coordination with the Department of Defense and the Army, is seeking a ground-based, non-hypersonic, long-range precision payload delivery system under the Ground-Based Affordable Mass program.
Selected small businesses must develop and deliver prototype solutions that are easy for soldiers to operate in a realistic field environment, aiming to establish low-cost, rapidly manufacturable alternatives to expensive current munitions.
Required capabilities include an all-up flyaway cost under $250,000 at scale, a manufacturing path of over 100 units monthly, a ground-launched range of at least 600 nautical miles, a payload capacity of 35 to 100+ pounds, and reliable operation in electronic-warfare contested environments.
Only winners of the preceding Defense Innovation Unit G-BAM Challenge are eligible to submit a Direct-to-Phase II proposal, which features a funding limit of up to $2,000,000 and an 18-to-24-month period of performance.

The Department's FY26 SBIR/STTR Release 3 opened June 24 with roughly 37 topics across DARPA, the Navy, the Air Force, and the defense components, all closing July 22. The compressed four-week window is unforgiving, but the bigger mistake founders make is treating every component the same. Here is how to read the release, the eligibility rules that disqualify good companies, and why the component you target matters more than the topic you pick.
