Troxel Aerospace Industries Incorporated — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase II: Z6
Troxel Aerospace Industries Incorporated — SBIR Phase II award from National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Phase II SBIR prototype / development signal
- Phase II is where National Aeronautics and Space Administration funds deeper R&D after feasibility. Incumbents with Phase II history are serious competitors on adjacent topics.
- Use this award as past-performance context and to map customer organizations for STRATFI/TACFI-style transition planning.
- At $4,140,159, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
- Topic code Z6 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
NASA#39;s new mission requirements for complex autonomous operations, high-end sensor processing, swarm/constellation management, planetary/lunar landing, and autonomous exploration missions, require novel onboard processing approaches because rad-hard processors do not offer enough performance and COTS alone do not meet criticality requirements. The significance of Troxel Aerospacersquo;s SEFI/SEU Mitigation Middleware (SMM) innovation is that it is the only feasible technology that provides a path to enabling these types of missions by allowing high-performance COTS processors to operate with a high degree of fault tolerance without the need for rad-hard electronics, and thus simultaneously meets advanced missionsrsquo; criticality and performance requirements. Troxel Aerospace has demonstrated Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 capability of the SMM through deployment and extensive radiation testing, and the proposed Sequential Phase II program is necessary to finish the maturation of the technology to TRL8 and deploy it with one of several mission opportunities.
