The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $1.25 million Firm Fixed Price contract to Aerobotix Inc., a small business based in Madison, Alabama, under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside and effective through January 13, 2027, funds development and demonstration of a Robotic Adaptive Scuff Sanding System (RASS) to automate surface preparation for coating refresh operations on F-35 airframes. This initiative addresses a critical manufacturing challenge in aerospace maintenance, where manual scuff sanding prior to coating reapplication is labor-intensive and subject to quality variability. The work will be performed at Aerobotix's facility in Triana, Alabama. Aerobotix brings substantial relevant expertise to this effort, having established itself as a specialized provider of robotic automation systems for defense and aerospace applications since 2005. The company's prior contract portfolio includes development of robotic paint application systems and advanced manufacturing technologies for federal agencies including the Air Force Research Laboratory, demonstrating the technical capability and program execution experience necessary for successful delivery of an adaptive robotic system for complex aircraft maintenance operations. This SBIR contract represents a strategic investment in automation technology that could significantly improve F-35 sustainment efficiency and coating quality across the fleet.
