AGILTRON, INC. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: DTRA143-003
AGILTRON, INC. — 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 $148,073. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code DTRA143-003 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
Agiltron will develop a new class of chemical vapor analyzer by leveraging Agiltrons development and production of micro-electrical-mechanical systems (MEMS) products and expertise with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) analysis and film fabrication. Our approach capitalizes on integration of these separate technologies to generate a unique and novel functionality that fully addresses all requirements of this program. The proposed chip-based device contains a micro-sized vapor sampling apparatus coupled with an optical chemical readout. The technical approach will be proven in Phase I through numerical analysis, design, and experiments. Prototype sensors will be produced in Phase II for delivery to the DTRA.
