Reach Power, Inc. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: X224-OCSO1
Reach Power, 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 $74,730. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.

Description
Reach Labs (Reach) is the industry technology leader in Wireless Power Transfer (WPT). Reach’s WPT technology provides wireless power-at-a-distance and does for electric power what Wi-Fi did for data. Reach’s wireless power system is composed of power transmitters, power receivers, and management software. Power receivers are rectifying antennas – rectennas – that receive RF and rectify it into power. The system is built on state-of-the-art, patented technology, including high-efficiency power converters, network optimization algorithms, and adaptive electromagnetic surfaces. This study will focus on the feasibility of building a generic power receiver that could be used by UAVs, eVTOLs, and robots to extend their mission capabilities.
