Omni directional aircraft mover for F-16

The Department of Defense, specifically the United States Air Force, is seeking innovative solutions for an omni-directional aircraft mover designed for the F-16 aircraft, as part of the SBIR Phase II program. The objective is to develop a system that allows for the movement of aircraft in all directions, facilitating precise placement for maintenance and repair operations, particularly during corrosion control activities. This technology aims to enhance efficiency by reducing the required tow lanes by up to 50% and improving the accuracy of aircraft positioning for automated tooling processes. Interested parties should note that the solicitation is set to open on May 28, 2025, with a closing date for applications on June 25, 2025.
