About this award
The U.S. Air Force awarded a $1.24 million SBIR Phase III contract to Gyrene Engineering Management, LLC on August 5, 2024, for the development and commercialization of the Gyrene Mangrove Portable Water Generation System. This firm fixed-price definitive contract, with an ultimate completion date of October 16, 2025, represents the advanced development stage of the company's flagship atmospheric water harvesting technology. The Mangrove system is a solar-powered platform designed to extract potable water from the atmosphere while simultaneously generating exportable electricity, with particular application for Air Force expeditionary operations in austere and resource-constrained environments. Work will be performed in New Baltimore, Michigan.
Gyrene Engineering Management is a veteran-owned small business that has demonstrated consistent technological advancement through the SBIR program, progressing from initial Phase I research efforts in 2020 to this Phase III procurement contract. The company's trajectory of over $2.1 million in federal awards reflects validated technology maturation and Air Force confidence in the Mangrove system's operational utility. This contract represents no set-aside designation beyond the SBIR program itself and builds upon prior collaboration with Air Force Materiel Command and other Air Force components to transition the water generation technology toward operational deployment and procurement.
