On active Phase II awards, the Air Force may request a Phase II enhancement application package from a limited number of Phase II awardees. In the Air Force program, the outside investment funding must be from a government source, usually the Air Force or other military service. The selected enhancements will extend the existing Phase II contract awards for up to one year and the Air Force will match dollar-for-dollar up to $500,000 of non-SBIR government matching funds. If requested to submit a Phase II enhancement application package, it must be submitted through the DoD Submission Web site at www.dodsbir.net/submission. Contact the local awarding organization SBIR Manager (see Air Force SBIR Organization Listing) for more information.
AIR FORCE SBIR PROGRAM MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENTS
The AF reserves the right to modify the Phase II submission requirements. Should the requirements change, all Phase I awardees that are invited to submit Phase II proposals will be notified. The AF also reserves the right to change any administrative procedures at any time that will improve management of the AF SBIR Program.
AIR FORCE SUBMISSION OF FINAL REPORTS
All Final Reports will be submitted to the awarding AF organization in accordance with the Contract. Companies will not submit Final Reports directly to the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC).
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS for Topic AF121C-123
These special instructions apply only to topic AF121C-123, “Transparency Sensor System,” and are in addition to the regular instructions listed at the beginning of the AF section of the solicitation.
This is a manufacturing-related R&D Critical SBIR topic. The primary focus of the Phase I effort is to demonstrate the feasibility of developing, integrating and transitioning innovative process technologies in a manufacturing environment to support the production of inline materials for advanced weapon system(s). For this effort, Phase I objectives are to define the requirements to establish an initial measurement capability to nondestructively measure and characterize inline thin film mat material in a production environment to ensure specification compliant materials are being produced. In addition to demonstrating the proposed technology solution, successful offerors should also consider the technical, business and transition activities necessary to lower the risk of technology insertion into the integration processes of a joint service weapon system.
The Air Force plans to award two Phase I contracts on this topic, each limited to $150,000. Phase I contracts will be executed at an accelerated pace, a seven-month effort, including four months for technical effort and an additional three months for reporting. The Phase I effort will identify and provide a proof of feasibility concept and a plan for the overall system concept and architecture. Phase I results must demonstrate a technical solution meeting all program end requirements.
As this effort is focused on AF and joint service weapon system specialty material production, successful offerors may find it useful to dialog and/or partner with an AF/DoD prime in order to understand specific system requirements, implementation risks and transition windows. Successful offerors may also benefit from consideration of technical readiness levels (TRL) as well as manufacturing readiness levels (MRL) when preparing responses to the Critical SBIR.
The primary focus of Phase II is to develop and implement to TRL/MRL 7 maturity the nondestructive evaluation measurement system defined under the Phase I effort. The AF plans to award one Phase II effort of no more than $4M. Examples of the additional information needed in the Phase II proposal package include the following: innovative technical approaches to address the critical processes, associated return on investment (ROI), and potential related uses. Also, the Phase II proposal must include both business and transition plans. Submission of a Phase II proposal will be by invitation only. At that time, special instructions will be provided for proposal preparation.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS for Topic AF121C-125
These special instructions apply only to Air Force Topic AF121C-125, "Inlet/Exhaust Damage Registration Sensor,” and are in addition to the regular instructions listed at the beginning of the AF section of the solicitation.
This is a R&D Critical SBIR topic. The primary focus of this effort is to demonstrate the feasibility of developing, integrating and transitioning innovative process technologies in the field environment to support the identification, characterization and registration of defects/damage in the inlet/exhaust specialty coating of advanced weapon systems. For this effort, Phase I objectives are to define the requirements to establish an initial measurement capability to accurately and rapidly identify, characterize and register the defects to the aircraft coordinates. In addition to demonstrating the proposed technology solution, successful offerors should also consider the technical, business and transition activities necessary to lower the risk of technology insertion into the integration processes of a joint service weapon system.
