High/Ultra Performance Concrete Standoff Detection and Diagnosis

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is seeking innovative technologies for the detection and diagnosis of high-performance concrete (HPC) and ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) as part of its Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The objective is to develop portable, lightweight systems capable of identifying and differentiating between HPC and UHPC from a significant standoff distance, while also detecting flaws and vulnerabilities within concrete structures. This capability is crucial for military applications, as HPC and UHPC are often used in high-value targets, and their detection can aid in effective targeting strategies. The solicitation is currently closed, with the next phase opening on September 18, 2024, and applications due by October 23, 2024.
