    Description

    The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is seeking innovative software solutions through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program to integrate Wave Relay API features into the Thales InterSense IS-1500 Visual Inertial Tracking Software. The primary objective is to enhance local positioning capabilities for uncrewed and worn sensors during tactical operations by leveraging RF signal information, ensuring accuracy within 1 meter in a 300-meter by 300-meter area without GPS reliance, particularly in low-light conditions. This technology is crucial for improving the reliability of positioning solutions in GPS-denied environments, especially for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) sensor operations. Interested parties should note that the solicitation is set to open on June 25, 2025, with applications due by July 23, 2025, and can find more information at the DOD SBIR website.
