BTECH ACOUSTICS LLC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: N191-038
BTECH ACOUSTICS LLC — SBIR Phase I award from Department of Defense.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from Department of Defense 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 $139,999. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code N191-038 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
This Phase I proposal to Topic N191-038 describes BTech’s approach to transferring data through a submarine hull with a data capacity in excess of 10k bit/sec (bps) using piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers. Some of the communication techniques include signaling to increase data packet detection at lower power levels. The Phase I baseline design of the signal schemes and the transducer system will be recommended based on past work and experience with broadband acoustic communication systems.
