ENGINEERING AND SOFTWARE SYSTEM SOLUTIONS, 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 $1,751,652, this is a large obligation for typical SBIR Phase sizing — worth reviewing for scope breadth and teaming opportunity.
- Tagged technology areas: Materials & Manufacturing. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
This award funds the development of an advanced HVOF coating process to apply thicker protective layers on aircraft landing gear parts that face high bending stress. The goal is to enable reliable spraying of components requiring coatings over 0.010 inches for Air Force use.
