HAWKEYE 360 AWARDED SBIR PHASE II CONTRACT TO ENHANCE NATIONAL DEFENSE

HawkEye 360 announces it has been selected by AFWERX for a SBIR Phase II contract, focused on the delivery of RFGeo® and RFIQ™ data to address the most pressing challenges 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 faster proposal to award timelines, changing the pool of potential applicants by expanding opportunities to small business and eliminating 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. As of June 25, 2024, HawkEye 360 will continue its efforts to create and provide innovative capabilities that will strengthen the national defense of the United States of America.

“Receiving the SBIR Phase II contract from AFWERX is a significant milestone for HawkEye 360,” said Alex Fox, Chief Growth Officer at HawkEye 360. “This opportunity allows us to leverage our cutting-edge RFGeo and RFIQ data solutions to support the Department of the Air Force in addressing critical mission challenges and ultimately strengthening the United States’ national defense. We are excited to collaborate with AFWERX and contribute to the innovative advancements that will enhance our nation’s security.”
