About this award
The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $1.8M Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to Nextgen Aeronautics, Inc., a minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in Torrance, California, to manufacture high-fidelity full-scale wind tunnel models (WTM) for next-generation air vehicle development. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside with a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure, runs through April 30, 2026, and represents the continuation of research initiated in a Phase I effort. Nextgen Aeronautics will perform the work at its Torrance facility, leveraging its established expertise in advanced aeronautics research and specialized instrumentation technologies developed through its extensive portfolio of SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs with Department of Defense agencies.
This award reflects Nextgen Aeronautics' demonstrated capabilities in aerospace research and development, supported by its existing $400M Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract under the Air Force's Skyborg Prototyping, Experimentation and Autonomy Development program, which focuses on autonomous mission systems development. The company's track record of securing multiple Phase II SBIR awards and serving as both a prime contractor and specialized subcontractor for major defense primes positions it as a key supplier for the Air Force's advanced aeronautics initiatives. The high-fidelity wind tunnel models produced under this effort will support critical aerodynamic testing and validation activities essential to the development and optimization of next-generation military aircraft systems.
