Through the Energy Demand Reduction and Energy Resiliency Open Topic, the Army seeks to bring potentially valuable small business innovations to its operations. The Army also aims to create an opportunity to expand the relevance of the Army SBIR program to firms who do not normally compete for SBIR awards.

While the Army will accept Energy Demand Reduction and Energy Resiliency Open Topic proposals on any technical challenge requiring the application of energy demand reduction and clean energy technologies, the Army will prioritize submissions addressing the following core technical areas for award: Energy Storage (man-portable; ground vehicle and support equipment applications; and airborne vehicle solutions) Clean Energy Generation (primary but not exclusive range of 1kW-200kW and 20-1,000 energy consumption endpoints) Micro-grid components compatible with the DoD’s Tactical Microgrid Standard Electric and Hybrid Electric Transportation (ground vehicles, ground support equipment, UAV, helicopter, and small-fixed wing aircraft solutions) Charging of electrified transportation in austere environments Phase I Submission Materials: 5-page technical volume for down-select.

8-slide commercialization plan; template provided in announcement. Post-Phase I Deliverables: Small Business: A feasibility study to demonstrate the technical and commercial practicality of the concept to include an assessment of its technical readiness and potential applicability to military and commercial markets. Businesses will produce practical and feasible prototype solutions that can operate in edge and austere environments.

Companies will provide a technology transition and commercialization plan for Department of Defense and commercial markets. The Army will evaluate each product in a realistic field environment and provide solutions to stakeholders for further evaluation. Based on Soldier field assessment, the Army will request companies to update the previously delivered prototypes to meet final design configuration.

DP2 Submission Materials: 10-page technical volume for down-select to include a maximum of two pages showing how it achieved technical feasibility. 8-slide commercialization plan; template provided in announcement. All businesses must submit proposals by noon, Eastern Time.

mil/topics/ 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.

Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (supply chain management, logistics coordination, target identifications and simulation) Advanced Materials and Manufacturing (additive manufacturing) Autonomy (unmanned systems, drones, ground vehicle capabilities) Chemical and Biological (detection, defense) Cyber (biometric authentication, secure communications) Electronics (microelectronics, Very-Large-Scale Integration (VLSI)) Electronic Warfare (jamming, spoofing) Human Performance (wearables) Immersive (augmented reality, virtual reality, mixed reality) Network Technologies (antennas, radio frequency, communications systems) Position, Navigation, and Timing (GPS) Power (batteries, generators) Software Modernization (high performance computing, data management and visualization) Sensors (infrared sensing) Weapons Systems (hypersonics, munitions and projectiles, directed energy)
