Small Business Innovation Research
Abstract
This project explores innovative concepts pursuant to Public Law 106-554 (Small Business Reauthorization Act of 2000) and Public Law 107-50 (Small Business Technology Transfer Program Reauthorization Act of 2001), which mandates a two-phase competition for small businesses with innovative technology that can be commercialized. The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs will develop new dual-use technology for future Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Ballistic Missile Defense Systems (BMDS) needs. Dual-use means that the technology will be judged on the potential for future private sector investment both as a vehicle for reducing development time and cost, unit costs of new BMDS technology, and as a route to national economic growth through new commercial products. MDA will conduct the competition, award, and manage the contracts. The MDA's SBIR/STTR investments are divided into 16 Research Areas for the following key components: -Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD): Develops Naval BMD Capability -Command, Control, Communication, Computer Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR): Defines, develops and deploys an integrated Sensor and Command and Control (C2) capability for the Ballistic Missile Defense System -Program and Integration: Supervises the non-Aegis portfolio including Targets, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), Ground-based Midcourse Defense, and the Israeli programs -Test: Characterizes ballistic missile defense capability and supports fielding of an integrated and effective capability to the Warfighter -Advanced Technology: Develops technology to counter future threats
