Commercial-Derived Insights for Novel Tactical Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Tracking (TacSRT) Capabilities
SBIR Opportunity Analysis
The Department of the Air Force is seeking SBIR proposals for commercial-derived insights that support novel Tactical Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Tracking capabilities. The effort covers unclassified space- and ground-enabled sensing and analytics across the sensing-to-analysis continuum, including data collection, phenomenology exploitation, analytic fusion, and information delivery, with solutions that can take the form of hardware, software, analytic tools, or sensing concepts. Phase I is a three-month effort to assess technical merit and feasibility and to define a minimum viable capability that can be matured into a prototype in Phase II, with emphasis on rapid operational utility, integration into existing commercial-derived workflows, and the ability to support a testable prototype that produces outputs directly for operators. The topic is subject to ITAR and EAR restrictions, including disclosure of foreign national involvement, and proposals are due June 3, 2026 at 4:00 PM through the DoD SBIR/STTR topic portal.
