About this award
Triton Systems, Inc., a small business based in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, was awarded a $1.49M Phase II contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on December 16, 2022, to develop a low-cost single-use drone for swarming applications under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside with a firm fixed-price structure, carries an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2025. This Phase II award represents the continuation of research initiated in an earlier Phase I effort and reflects DARPA's commitment to advancing game-changing autonomous systems technology through the SBIR mechanism, which supports innovative development by small businesses with commercial potential.
Triton Systems is well-positioned to execute this effort given its demonstrated expertise in aerospace and defense technologies, including prior work on unmanned systems and autonomy capabilities. The company's established track record includes multiple DARPA and Department of Defense contract awards spanning advanced materials, sensor development, and unmanned maritime systems. Work will be performed at the company's Chelmsford facility, and the project aligns with DARPA's broader mission to ensure U.S. technological superiority through innovations in autonomous systems and swarming technologies—capabilities increasingly critical to military operations and national defense.
