Integrated Deployable Microsensors for Chemical Detection
SBIR Opportunity Analysis
The Department of Defense (DoD) is seeking proposals for the development of integrated deployable microsensors for chemical detection under the SBIR program, specifically identified as CBD254-007. The objective is to design and fabricate low Size, Weight, Power, and Cost (SWaP-C) microsensors capable of detecting chemical warfare agents and pharmaceutical-based agents in vapor and aerosol forms, providing near real-time threat detection and integrated early warning capabilities. This technology is critical for enhancing situational awareness in complex operational environments and has dual-use applications for both military and civilian first responders. Proposals are due by April 1, 2026, with the opportunity opening on March 11, 2026, and further details can be found at the DoD SBIR website.
