VALLEY TECH SYSTEMS INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: MDA15-002
VALLEY TECH SYSTEMS INC — SBIR Phase II award from Department of Defense.
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 $1,552,015, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.

Description
The Missile Defense Agency is seeking innovative improvements of mature product and material technologies that address increased kinematic performance and containment through reduction of mass, while maintaining or increasing performance. To address this need, VTS has developed, through the MDA SBIR program, advanced interceptor ACS design enabled by a new Hot Gas Valve technology. The design incorporates innovative materials that have balanced structural and thermal properties resulting in breakthrough Hot Gas Valve operation duration. Due to continued threat evolvement and overall desire to reduce weight while increasing system operation time and performance, VTS is proposing, during this SBIR, continued spiral development of the HGV technology that controls multiple solid propellant ignitions, extinguishments and overall control of packaged total propellant impulse. This Phase II SBIR will conduct detailed design and supporting testing to upgrade and validate the long duration HGV technology capable of continuous ACS operation for 1000+ seconds.
