About this award

The U.S. Air Force awarded Cambrian Works, Inc. a $1.93 million Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract on September 28, 2022, to develop a prototype resilient multi-mode optical and radio frequency communications system (Multi-MORF). This total small business set-aside contract, with an ultimate completion date of March 29, 2024, supports the Air Force's need for adaptable defense communications capabilities. Cambrian Works will perform the work at its facility in Herndon, Virginia, leveraging its established expertise in advanced communication systems and software-defined networking technologies developed through prior SBIR engagements with the Air Force Research Laboratory.

As a minority-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Reston, Virginia, Cambrian Works brings relevant experience in prototype development and defense-oriented research and development. The company's previous SBIR and STTR awards demonstrate its track record in delivering sophisticated communication and positioning technologies for the Air Force. This Phase II effort represents a progression from earlier-stage research, focusing on translating the Multi-MORF concept toward a resilient prototype capable of operating across multiple frequency domains, which aligns with the Air Force's modernization priorities for flexible and resilient command and control infrastructure.
