Abstract
The Navy, Air Force, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA), and Chemical and Biological Defense (CBD) hereafter referred to as DoD Components, invite small business firms to submit proposals under this solicitation for the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. Firms with the capability to conduct research and development (R&D) in any of the defense-related topic areas described in Section 8.O, and to commercialize the results of that R&D, are encouraged to participate. Objectives of the DoD SBIR Program include stimulating 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 Federal SBIR Program is mandated by Public Laws PL 97-219, PL 99-443, PL 102-564 and PL 106-554. The basic design of the DoD SBIR Program is in accordance with the Small Business Administration (SBA) SBIR Policy Directive, January 1993. The DoD Program presented in this solicitation strives to encourage scientific and technical innovation in areas specifically identified by DoD Components. The guidelines presented in this solicitation incorporate and exploit the flexibility of the SBA Policy Directive to encourage proposals based on scientific and technical approaches most likely to yield results important to the DoD and the private sector.
