COMBUSTION RESEARCH & FLOW TECHNOLOGY INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: SBIR DIRECT TO PHASE II: PREDICTING RF ATTENUATION AND RADAR CROSS SECTION RETURNS FOR HIG
COMBUSTION RESEARCH & FLOW TECHNOLOGY 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 $2,045,000, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
- Tagged technology areas: Hypersonics, Modeling & Simulation, Sensors & Sensor Fusion. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
This award funds advanced computer modeling to predict how missile exhaust plumes and hypersonic wakes weaken radio signals and alter radar signatures, including interactions with the missile body. The work supports improved missile defense simulations for the Missile Defense Agency.
