Department of Defense Abstracts of Phase 2 Awards 1991
Abstract
Objectives of the DoD SBIR Program include simulating technological innovation, strengthening the role of small business in meeting DoD research and development needs, fostering and encouraging participation by minority and disadvantaged persons in technological innovation, and increasing the commercial application of DoD-supported research or research and development results. The SBIR Program consists of three distinct phases. Under Phase I, DoD Components make awards to small business responding to advertised solicitation topics. Typically, a Phase I award is for one half to one man-year effort over a period generally not to exceed six months, subject to negotiation. Phase I is to determine, insofar as possible, the scientific or technical merit and feasibility of ideas or concepts submitted in response to SBIR topics. All DoD topics address specific R and D needs to improve our defense posture. Proposals selected for contract award are those which contain an approach or idea that holds promise to provide an answer to the specific problem addressed in the topic. The successful completion of Phase I is a prerequisite for further DoD support in Phase II.
