Kinetic Projectile Ammunition Design & Demonstration for 50-foot Standoff with Service Weapons or EOD Disrupters

The Department of Defense, specifically the Navy branch, is seeking proposals for the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project titled "Kinetic Projectile Ammunition Design & Demonstration for 50-foot Standoff with Service Weapons or EOD Disrupters." The objective of this initiative is to design, develop, and demonstrate a ballistically stable projectile that can effectively engage explosive hazards, such as Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), from a minimum distance of 50 feet. This project is crucial for enhancing the capabilities of Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) operators, ensuring high confidence in detonation reliability and safety during operations. Proposals are due by February 5, 2025, with the opportunity opening on January 8, 2025, and further details can be found at the official SBIR website: https://www.dodsbirsttr.mil/topics-app/.
