NEW FRONTIER AEROSPACE, 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 $2,999,896, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
- Tagged technology areas: Space & Satellite, Power & Energy. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
New Frontier Aerospace is receiving nearly $3 million to build and test a prototype propulsion system for an orbital transfer vehicle in space. The system uses a single Mjolnir engine and focuses on ground testing without other components like avionics or payload.
