Novel Technologies for CWMD and Related Threats - Open Topic
SBIR Opportunity Analysis
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is seeking innovative solutions through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program to develop novel technologies for detecting weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and related threats. The objective is to utilize existing general-purpose military hardware and commercially available devices to detect WMD threats without the need for specialized sensors, focusing on the use of signals from common sensors such as microphones, cameras, and motion detectors. This initiative is critical for enhancing national security capabilities and addressing the challenges associated with the development and deployment of new detection technologies. The opportunity is currently in the pre-release phase, with applications due by April 1, 2026, and further details can be found on the DOD SBIR website.
