Navy SBIR topic — under DoW SBIR 2026 BAA (Solicitation 26.BZ, Release 5) — Accepting submissions 2026-08-26 to 2026-09-23. Objective: Develop a portable digital metrology system to measure aircraft transparency damage (such as coating damage, scratches, cracks, or pits) that can be used on aircraft by squadron level maintenance personnel to characterize damage. Description: Scratches and pits to the acrylic outer ply of canopies and windscreens cause optical distortion as well as structural vulnerability, and these types of damage cause significant readiness degradation. Repair methods for these defects are dependent on the severity of the damage which is determined by the dimensions of the defect. Currently available repair methods are limited and repair limitations are stringent and hig...
