HYPERION TECHNOLOGY GROUP 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 $149,583. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.

Description
The overall objective of this Phase I effort is to determine the feasibility of defeating CBW production facilities via an X-ray source that would fit within the volume constraints of a munition platform. First, Battelle will conduct a system trade study focused on determining the key performance requirements of an X-ray source suitable for use against CBW and C4 complexes, identify the input requirements necessary (energy, power, time-on-target, distance-from-target, and beam area) to defeat CBW agents to a certain level of confidence (e.g.,>99.99%). If the Phase I tasks outlined above are successful, DTRA will have a system trade study examining the feasibility of an X-ray munition for CBW defeat, a high fidelity model of the components necessary to produce an X-ray munition, and a series of proof of principle experiments to validate key components of the model. The Phase I program will provide the basis for experimental design that will guide the Phase II program, and allow demonstration of an X-ray munition at a benchtop/subscale level against representative CBW samples in a relevant scenario.
