THE INNOVATION LABORATORY, INC. — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: A3
THE INNOVATION LABORATORY, INC. — SBIR Phase I award from National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from National Aeronautics and Space Administration in a technical approach.
- Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
- Obligated amount $124,998. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code A3 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
To accelerate AAM maturity and address the needs of the mature state for UAM, this SBIR effort addresses the need for a capability to: (1)nbsp; assess from historical data the traffic patterns and needs of GA traffic, and (2) assess, in real-time, the patterns-of-life for GA activity at low altitudes in urban environments, so as to geofence those regions and protect both GA and UAM traffic from anomalous events.nbsp; The Innovation Laboratory proposes to develop an enabling technology that assists geofencing between GA and UAM vehicles, for instance, eVTOLs in urban environments.nbsp; With this innovation, the patterns-of-life data for GA traffic can become an asset for UAM airspace operational planners and USS providers monitoring UAM airspace constraints.
