This Total Small Business set-aside contract, awarded on July 9, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of July 8, 2026, supports the development of the Hybrid Observation and Processing System (HOPS), an AI-enhanced framework for space-based infrared target detection, tracking, and classification. The project integrates large language models and neurosymbolic artificial intelligence technologies to advance the company's rapid prototyping platform and AI capabilities for defense applications.
This Phase III award represents a continuation of Jaxon's work on advanced AI and machine learning solutions for the defense sector. SBIR Phase III contracts typically transition innovations from earlier research phases toward commercialization and full-scale development. The firm fixed price structure reflects a mature technical approach, and the SMC funding demonstrates continued confidence in the company's expertise in autonomous learning, object detection, and hybrid AI frameworks. Jaxon's track record includes multiple prior SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) awards from defense agencies including the Naval Air Warfare Center and Air Force Research Laboratory, positioning the company as an established contributor to defense-oriented AI research and development initiatives.
