    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the United States Air Force, is seeking innovative technologies through the SBIR program to enhance payload re-entry capabilities for containerized cargo from exoatmospheric altitudes. The primary objective is to develop a modular downmass capability that can deliver payloads weighing between 0.5 to 10 tons, ensuring that the cargo survives re-entry and landing intact. This initiative is crucial for advancing military logistics and operational capabilities, as it aims to facilitate the safe return of materials without requiring modifications to existing Department of Defense hardware. Interested parties should prepare proposals for Direct to Phase II submissions, with the application deadline set for October 23, 2024.
