About this award

Trident Sensing, Inc., a small disadvantaged, service-disabled veteran-owned business based in Ogden, Utah, has been awarded a $156,097 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract by NASA's Shared Services Center to develop a compact unmanned aircraft system (UAS) sensor for distributed mapping of wildfire plumes. The contract, awarded on September 29, 2025, carries a firm fixed-price structure and is designated as a total small business set-aside. The work will be performed in Washington Terrace, Utah, with an ultimate completion date of March 27, 2026. This Phase I effort represents an early-stage research and development initiative focused on advancing sensor technology for wildfire monitoring and emergency management applications.

This award aligns with Trident Sensing's established expertise in wildfire detection and UAS technologies, building on the company's prior federal contract portfolio that includes SBIR Phase II work with the Air Force Research Laboratory on positioning and navigation systems and a NASA contract for unmanned aircraft traffic management to support aerial firefighting operations. The company's focus on developing innovative solutions for real-time fire mapping and emergency response directly supports NASA's broader mission objectives in Earth science and disaster management. As a Phase I SBIR contract, this award will fund preliminary feasibility and proof-of-concept work, potentially leading to Phase II development and commercialization of the compact UAS sensor technology.
