X-WAVE INNOVATIONS, INC. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: D2 PHASE II R&D: A LOW-COST, HANDHELD ULTRASONIC PRESSURE SENSOR FOR NON-INVASIVE, RAPID,
X-WAVE INNOVATIONS, 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 $2,010,000, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
- Tagged technology areas: Sensors & Sensor Fusion, Materials & Manufacturing. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
X-Wave Innovations received a $2.01M SBIR Phase II award to develop a low-cost handheld ultrasonic sensor that measures helium pressure inside composite pressure vessels without invasive methods. The tool aims to enable fast, accurate checks for airborne fuel systems under Missile Defense Agency requirements.
