INTELLIGENT FIBER OPTIC SYSTEMS CORPORATION — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase II: PHOTONICALLY SENSORIZED ROBOTIC SUBSURFACE SAMPLING SYSTEM
INTELLIGENT FIBER OPTIC SYSTEMS CORPORATION — SBIR Phase II award from National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Phase II SBIR prototype / development signal
- Phase II is where National Aeronautics and Space Administration 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.
- Obligated amount $1,274,988 is consistent with substantial Phase II-scale effort; compare to related awards from the same agency.
- Tagged technology areas: Autonomy & Robotics, Sensors & Sensor Fusion, Space & Satellite. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
Intelligent Fiber Optic Systems Corporation won about $1.27 million from NASA for a Phase II SBIR project to build a robotic subsurface sampling system using photonic (fiber-optic) sensors. The goal is to create advanced tools for sampling materials below the surface in space or similar environments.
