High-efficiency, High-Performance Cross Domain Solution (CDS) for Unattended Applications

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is seeking innovative designs for a high-efficiency, high-performance Cross Domain Solution (CDS) tailored for unattended applications, with a focus on achieving 100 Gb per second throughput while maintaining power consumption below 12 watts. The objective is to integrate state-of-the-art technologies to set a new benchmark in performance, efficiency, and security, particularly in environments such as space, where the solution must also ensure integrity and confidentiality against potential adversarial access. This opportunity is part of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, with proposals due by February 5, 2025, and the solicitation is currently in the pre-release phase, with further details available on the official SBIR website. Interested parties are encouraged to prepare their submissions in accordance with the outlined requirements, including documentation of prior work and feasibility studies.
