SCIENTIFIC SYSTEMS CO INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: SOCOM213-003
SCIENTIFIC SYSTEMS CO 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 $2,899,969, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
- Topic code SOCOM213-003 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
To engage a high value target in GPS/contested conditions over any significant distance, small Common Launch Tube (CLT) munitions must be able to navigate in the absence of GPS. This requires an alternate navigation solution that is able to constrain the drift of the micro/electro/mechanical system (MEMS) quality inertial measurement units (IMUs) in order to accurately navigate to the target area to support the terminal approach and guidance. To provide this capability, during the SOCOM Topic 21.3/003, Stand Off Precision Guided Munitions (SOPGM) in a Global Positioning Systems (GPS) Contested Environment, SBIR Phase I, Scientific Systems Company, Inc. (SSCI) integrated our non/GPS precision navigation commercial software product, SSCI’s ImageNavTM system, with the capabilities of the ElbitAmerica’s Multi/Mode Seeker Concept, and investigated additional sensor and algorithms improvements to provide an enhanced navigation capability in GPS/contested environments. SSCI’s Phase I effort culminated in a proposed Multi/Mode Seeker design concept that integrated ImageNav technology. This Phase II effort will advance the Phase I concept design to a prototype upgraded SOPGM weapon for Captive Carry flight demonstration, via additional development and with the assistance of highly competent subcontractors (ElbitAmerica, Applied Systems Engineering, Inc., Dynetics, and others).
