About this opportunity
Air Force SBIR topic — Accepting submissions 2026-12-02 to 2027-01-06. Modern multi-domain operational environments present increasingly agile, multi-spectral threat emitters spanning radio frequency (RF), infrared (IR), and electro-optical (EO) regimes. Conventional aircraft survivability equipment (ASE) suffers from hardwired, federated implementations, tightly coupled mechanical and electrical host dependencies, and high-latency upgrade cycles. Overcoming these barriers requires foundational research into containerized, hardware-agnostic modular payloads, high-efficiency edge processing architectures, and adaptive aperture configurations that can operate autonomously while remaining fully interoperable with joint command-and-control networks. This topic solicits applied research and ex...
