Innovative Methodologies for Developing Large Mass High Velocity Projectiles

The Department of Defense, through the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), is seeking innovative methodologies for developing large mass high-velocity projectiles as part of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The objective is to create a new approach that combines large projectile mass and high velocity for impact testing, significantly improving current capabilities in modeling and simulation tools used for ground testing of projectiles and munitions. This initiative is critical for enhancing the effectiveness of defense technologies and may also have applications in industries such as mining and oil and gas extraction. The solicitation is set to open on April 23, 2025, with proposals due by May 21, 2025. Interested parties can find more information and submit applications through the official SBIR website at https://www.dodsbirsttr.mil/topics-app/.
