INDUCTIVE VENTURES, INC. — STTR Phase I award from Department of Defense.
Phase I STTR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from Department of Defense 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 $149,659. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code AFX20D-TCSO1 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
The Team of Inductive Ventures (IV) and the Ohio Aerospace Institute (OAI) are Teaming to provide a closed loop energy recovery and storage system for an all electric (drone) aircraft. During Phase 1, we will work together to identify an Air Force customer who is interested in retrofitting the braking system on board a candidate electric aircraft. This new magnetic braking system will offer the opportunity to recapture some of the vehicles kinetic energy during the landing event, and store the energy onboard the vehicle for use at a later time. This captured energy can be used for weapons systems or other mission critical components on board the vehicle. This work is supportive of the Agility Prime initiative in that it progress the research on inductive braking and also provides energy storage capabilities to the aircraft.
