Air Force SBIR topic — under DoW SBIR 2026 BAA (Solicitation 26.BZ, Release 3) — Accepting submissions 2026-06-24 to 2026-07-22. Objective: This effort seeks to mature, develop, and validate a modular, complementary Flush Air Data System (FADS) designed to augment existing pitot-static air data architectures across all AFGSC platforms, including bomber operations, weapon platforms, UAS, and test assets. The system will provide redundant, jam-resistant, and stealth-compatible air data sensing to enhance flight safety, data integrity, and mission resilience in contested environments. Description: Targeting Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 6–7, the effort will integrate the complementary FADS within an Agile Pod or fuselage-mounted configuration, enabling non-intrusive flight validation with...
