GEO-SPIDER, INCORPORATED — Department of Agriculture SBIR Phase I: In summary, Phase I of this project will seek to establish feasibility of the mass harvest
GEO-SPIDER, INCORPORATED — SBIR Phase I award from Department of Agriculture.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from Department of Agriculture 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 $98,809. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.

Description
In summary, Phase I of this project will seek to establish feasibility of the mass harvesting system for high density grove through scaled prototype testing and to develop a functional design concept of the Over the Top Platform, while Phase II will fully develop the Geo-Spider OTP prototype mounted with the mass harvesting system and further validate a full scale mass harvesting. The Geo-Spider, which will have mass harvesting capability and other cultivation functions, will have a significant market advantage over other manufacturer products and thus should be highly attractive to both large citrus growers and custom production and harvesting companies.
