About this award
The U.S. government awarded CFD Research Corporation a $149,958 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract on September 29, 2025, to model tire and regolith interaction for surface mobility applications. This total small business set-aside contract is funded through a civilian federal agency and extends through March 27, 2026. The research will support the development of advanced computational models to understand how tires interact with planetary soil and rock materials, which has direct applications for lunar and Mars surface exploration missions where mobility systems must navigate challenging terrain.
CFD Research, headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, is well-positioned to execute this work given its extensive experience in computational modeling and research and development across federal agencies. The company holds significant SBIR and STTR contracts with the Department of Defense, Air Force, Navy, and NASA, as well as major indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity vehicles including a $950 million Air Force Advanced Battle Management System contract and a $139.9 million NASA Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerators contract. This SBIR Phase I award represents an opportunity for the company to develop innovative analytical capabilities that could support both near-term and long-term surface mobility programs for space exploration initiatives.
