ODYS AVIATION, INC. — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: HIGH-EFFICIENCY FUEL-TO-ELECTRIC POWER CONVERSION SYSTEM FOR UAS: A LIGHTWEIGHT, JP-8-COMP
ODYS AVIATION, INC. — SBIR Phase I award from National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from National Aeronautics and Space Administration 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 $224,929. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Tagged technology areas: Power & Energy. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
Odys Aviation received NASA SBIR Phase I funding to create a lightweight turbogenerator that converts JP-8 jet fuel into electricity for unmanned aerial systems. The project focuses on a high-efficiency, fuel-compatible power architecture suitable for drones.
