Phase II SBIR prototype / development signal
- Phase II is where Department of Defense 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 $1,500,000, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.

Description
In order to meet the resolution and revisit requirements, the need exists to expand the Theater Weather Imaging and Cloud Characterization Sensor (TWICCS) design to twice the number of channels - the Enhanced TWICCS (E-TWICCS) design. The E-TWICCS instrument described in this technical proposal shall be a pathfinder-to-operations instrument developed to verify that a push-broom imager can partially satisfy the Air Force requirements for Theater Weather Imaging and Cloud Characterization through small satellite platforms. The technical section outlines the performance objectives, basic description, Size Weight and Power, and configuration. The detailed work plan describes the capabilities, additional detailed description of tasks, and schedule for E-TWICCS. This work plan in conjunction to the Statement of Work provides additional information regarding when each of the tasks shall be performed with critical dates and dependencies.
