ATA ENGINEERING, INC. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: A MACHINE LEARNING-ACCELERATED FRAMEWORK FOR LETHALITY ASSESSMENT OF DIRECTED ENERGY ENGAG
ATA ENGINEERING, 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 $1,994,593, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
- Tagged technology areas: Artificial Intelligence/ML, Directed Energy, Hypersonics, Modeling & Simulation. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
ATA Engineering is building a machine learning tool to quickly judge how well directed energy weapons can defeat hypersonic missiles. This Missile Defense Agency SBIR Phase II project focuses on faster lethality assessments for these advanced threats.
