About this award
Xona Space Systems Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Burlingame, California, was awarded a $1.69 million Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract by the Air Force Research Laboratory on August 19, 2024. This total small business set-aside definitive contract, structured as firm fixed price, focuses on developing alternative position, navigation, and timing (APNT) technologies that provide real-time monitoring of current and future Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) to end users. The work is scheduled for completion by September 18, 2025, and will be performed in Burlingame, California.
The contract aligns with AFRL's broader strategic objectives to advance next-generation precision navigation, positioning, and timing capabilities that reduce dependency on traditional GPS systems. Xona's core offering, the Pulsar service, represents an advanced commercial space-based positioning alternative designed to support military operational environments and autonomous systems. This Phase II effort builds on the company's existing portfolio of SBIR Phase II contracts with AFRL totaling over $10.9 million, which collectively work toward demonstrating how warfighters and commercial operators can reliably trust commercial space-based PNT solutions in contested and denied environments.
