POLARIS SENSOR TECHNOLOGIES INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase III: SBIR PHASE III R&D(TASK 1 - 2): LONGER RANGE MANEUVERABLE INTERCEPTOR APERTURE TECHNOLOGY:
POLARIS SENSOR TECHNOLOGIES INC — SBIR Phase III award from Department of Defense.
Phase III transition / production-path signal
- Phase III work is typically non-SBIR set-aside follow-on. Seeing POLARIS SENSOR TECHNOLOGIES INC at Phase III is a strong transition indicator in this domain.
- Competitors studying dual-use scale-up should treat Phase III firms as graduation benchmarks, not just Phase I/II volume leaders.
- At $1,561,376, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
- Tagged technology areas: Hypersonics, Sensors & Sensor Fusion, Modeling & Simulation. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
Polaris Sensor Technologies Inc. received $1.56 million from the Missile Defense Agency for Phase III SBIR work on longer-range maneuverable interceptor aperture technology. The effort validates adaptive optics models and builds automated end-to-end aerothermal simulations.
