OPEN TOPIC - Tactical CB Visualization
SBIR Opportunity Analysis
The Department of Defense’s Chemical and Biological Defense SBIR Program is seeking an innovative tactical visualization capability to improve Warfighter situational awareness and decision support in chemical and biological contested environments. The work centers on a human-machine interface solution, such as augmented reality or sensor visualization, that can share and display tactical data in near real time and may be delivered as a head-borne, wrist-worn, handheld, or other end-user device. The solution must work with MOPP kits and respirators, meet battlefield eyewear safety guidelines, and, if software is proposed, comply with Integrated Sensor Architecture standards and the current Tactical Assault Kit SDK. Phase I calls for a proof of concept, Phase II for a pre-production prototype, and Phase III for performance validation and integration, with proposals due by May 13, 2026.
