Polaris Aero LLC (polarisaero.com) announces it has been selected by AFWERX for a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract in the amount of $750,000, focused on the VOCUS Safety Intelligence Platform to investigate its potential to fill capability gaps in the Department of the Air Force (DAF).
The Air Force Research Laboratory and AFWERX have partnered to streamline the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) process by accelerating the small business experience through a faster proposal to award timelines, changing the pool of potential applicants by expanding opportunities to small business and losing bureaucratic overhead by continually implementing process improvement changes in contract execution.
The DAF began offering 'The Open Topic' SBIR/STTR program in 2018, which expanded the range of innovations the DAF funded. This month, Polaris Aero will start its journey to create and provide innovative capabilities that will strengthen the national defense of the United States of America.
