Sustaining the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center’s (MCAGCC) training environment is critical to the readiness of the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and depends heavily on the integrity and resilience of its desert soils, hydrological basins, weather, ecosystem processes, and organismal communities (MCAGCC 2024 Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan, INRMP). The ecology of these communities and their key species are integral to the durability of the natural and training environments, which rely heavily upon intelligent and informed management and conservation. This management and conservation rely heavily on accurately knowing the distribution, density, health, and ecosystem processes of these communities and key or keystone species.Combining existing species studies with new, very precise LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and orthophotography data for MCAGCC and neighboring properties, enables powerful modelling and management of species distributions and habitat suitability aboard MCAGCC. This project will advance the Marine Air Ground Task Force Training Command’s (MAGTFTC) ability to conserve its natural and warfighter training environments, and enhance its resilience as an elite resource for the United States Marine Corps.

Past winners and funding trends for this program
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. The CSO open topic for AI-powered drone defense is the structural news: it's the first time NAVAIR has used a CSO vehicle to fund counter-drone work outside the conventional Phase I/II structure, and it changes how small businesses can engage with the Navy's most urgent capability gap.
Read articleThe Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation is spending to break America's 95% dependence on foreign rare earths. The strategy is unusual: recover critical materials from the waste streams of coal plants, smelters, and refineries that already exist. Here is the full funding architecture — the $75M just awarded, the $500M battery-materials round, the $1B pipeline behind them — and how an industrial operator should position for what comes next.
Read articleNSF's Trailblazer Engineering Impact Award (NSF 26-502) gives a single principal investigator up to $3 million over three years to pursue a high-risk, field-defining project. The July 24 full-proposal deadline is invitation-only — the real contest happened months earlier. Here is how the three-stage structure works, who is eligible, why the no-co-PI rule is the point, and how to position for the next cycle.
