Direct-to-Phase-II Call for Innovative Defense-Related Dual-Purpose Technologies/Solutions with a Clear Space Force Stakeholder Need

The Department of Defense, through the United States Air Force, is inviting proposals for the Direct-to-Phase-II Call for Innovative Defense-Related Dual-Purpose Technologies/Solutions that address specific needs of the Space Force. This opportunity aims to adapt non-defense commercial solutions for military applications, focusing on technologies that can transition directly into Phase II development, thereby accelerating the prototyping of validated concepts. The initiative emphasizes the importance of aligning proposed solutions with the operational imperatives of the Space Force and requires documentation from a motivated USSF end-user to support the proposed adaptations. Proposals are due by March 6, 2025, with further details available on the official solicitation page at https://www.dodsbirsttr.mil/topics-app/.
