Small Business Innovative Research
Abstract
This program 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 technologies with a defense application as well as a commercial value. The SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs will develop new dual-use technologies for possible future DLA operational and sustainment requirements. Dual-use means the technologies will be judged on their potential for future private sector investment both as a vehicle for reducing development time and cost, unit costs of new DLA technologies, and as a route to national economic growth through new commercial products. DLA will conduct the competition as well as award and manage the contracts. The DLA's SBIR/STTR investments are divided into multiple Research Areas identified from within several DLA Elements: J6 R&D - Nuclear Modernization: The objectives under the nuclear modernization focus area, include: maintain nuclear systems readiness, qualify alternate sources of supply, improve quality of consumable parts; and increase materiel availability. - Force Readiness and Lethality: The objectives under the force readiness and lethality focus area include: improve life cycle performance through technological advancement, innovation and reengineering; and mitigate single points-of-failure that threaten the readiness of weapons systems used by our Warfighters - Supply Chain Innovation: The objectives under the supply chain innovation focus area, include: improve lead times, reduce lifecycle costs, maintain a secure and resilient supply chain; and provide opportunities for small business industrial base to enhance supply chain operations with technological innovations. - Supply Chain Assurance: The objectives under the supply chain assurance focus area, include: secure the microelectronics supply chain, develop a domestic supply of rare earth elements; and adopt industrial base best practices associated with counterfeit risk reduction. DMEA - Advanced microelectronics concepts, technologies, and applications
