About this award

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) awarded a $1.98M Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract to Exo-Atmospheric Technologies LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Waukesha, Wisconsin, for development of an Affordable Divert and Attitude Control System Backpack (ADACS BP). This total small business set-aside contract, awarded on September 8, 2025, falls under the MDA Support acquisition program and will be performed in Huntsville, Alabama, with completion targeted for September 7, 2027. The contract utilizes a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure typical of research and development efforts, enabling the contractor to focus on innovative technology development for missile defense applications.

Exo-Atmospheric Technologies brings substantial experience in advanced aerospace and propulsion systems development, having secured multiple SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) contracts from defense agencies including MDA, the Air Force Research Laboratory, and Naval commands. The company's technical background in propulsion components, hypersonic defense technologies, and specialized aerospace systems positions it well to develop the divert and attitude control capability required for this phase of research. As a continuation into Phase II, this award represents validation of the contractor's Phase I research and reflects MDA's confidence in the technical approach for delivering an affordable solution for this critical missile defense subsystem.
