About this opportunity
Air Force SBIR topic — under DoW SBIR 2027 BAA (Solicitation 27.BZ, Release 1) — Accepting submissions 2026-10-28 to 2026-11-25. Objective: Develop and demonstrate a modular, agile robotic manufacturing workcell capable of autonomously routing, aligning, inserting, and verifying flexible, non-rigid wire harnesses and electrical connectors within the highly constrained physical geometries of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and advanced munitions. As a Direct-to-Phase-II (D2P2) topic, the immediate goal is to transition a validated proof-of-concept software and mechanical baseline (Technology Readiness Level 4) into fully integrated, operationally viable production workcells evaluated at defense prime contractor manufacturing sites. The system must eliminate the need for hard-tooled, single-pr...
