About this award
The Environmental Protection Agency awarded a $399,591 Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to Censys Technologies Corporation, a small business specializing in unmanned aircraft systems and advanced remote sensing technologies. Under this total small business set-aside, Censys will continue development of enhanced-range remote-sensing capabilities for detecting fugitive methane emissions from oil and gas infrastructure—work initiated under a prior Phase I SBIR award. The firm fixed-price contract, awarded on October 17, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of October 16, 2025, will be performed at Censys' facility in Daytona Beach, Florida. The Phase II effort builds on the EPA's investment in innovative environmental technologies, evaluating proposals based on technical merit and commercialization potential as part of the agency's FY 2022/2023 SBIR solicitation cycle.
Censys Technologies brings established expertise in long-range, fixed-wing VTOL hybrid and beyond visual line-of-sight commercial drone systems to this initiative. The company's work under this contract directly supports the EPA's environmental protection objectives by advancing detection technologies for methane emissions, a key greenhouse gas concern in industrial operations. This Phase II award represents the EPA's confidence in the contractor's technical approach and demonstrates the agency's commitment to fostering innovation in environmental monitoring through the SBIR program, which typically supports the transition of promising Phase I concepts into market-viable solutions.
