About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a $1.8M cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract to Centeye Inc., a small disadvantaged business specializing in miniature unmanned aerial systems with advanced visual sensing and computer vision capabilities. This Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award, set aside for total small business participation, is scheduled for completion by June 26, 2026, and will be performed in Washington, DC. Centeye's core competency in developing autonomous or semi-autonomous nano and micro-drones for operations in challenging indoor and underground environments positions the company well for DARPA's advanced technology development needs in autonomous sensing systems.
This contract represents a continuation of Centeye's established track record with the federal government, building on previous Phase I SBIR efforts and other awards from defense agencies including the Defense Threat Reduction Agency and Air Force Research Laboratory. The Phase II funding level reflects DARPA's commitment to advancing Centeye's proprietary technologies in autonomous sensing and computer vision for national defense applications. The cost-plus-fixed-fee structure allows for flexibility in development while maintaining cost controls, typical for complex research and development efforts where technical requirements may evolve during execution.
