CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: AF22B-T004 HUMAN-AUTONOMY TEAMING TESTBED FOR RESEARCH (HATTER)
CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, 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 $1,699,977, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
- Tagged technology areas: Autonomy & Robotics, Artificial Intelligence/ML. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
