Description

The Department of Defense, specifically the Army, is seeking innovative solutions through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program for the development of a Bridge Health Monitoring (BHM) System. This project aims to create a modular and scalable technology suite for real-time monitoring and assessment of various types of military and commercial bridges, enhancing operational readiness and lifespan predictions through advanced sensors and secure data communication. The BHM system is critical for improving bridge assessment methods, which currently rely on outdated techniques, and will ultimately support military readiness by providing actionable insights into bridge health. Interested parties can submit Phase I proposals with a funding limit of $250,000, due by July 9, 2025, following a preliminary xTechIgnite prize competition.
