About this award
The Defense Health Agency awarded a $1.3 million definitive contract to Nirsense, Inc., a small disadvantaged business, for development of an ultra-thin helmet-compatible near-infrared spectroscopy and electroencephalography-based cerebrovascular monitoring sensor system for future vertical lift operator state monitoring integration on February 12, 2025, under a total small business set-aside.
This Phase II SBIR award funds completion by June 11, 2027. Place of performance is Richmond, Virginia. The originating solicitation seeks an integrated wearable sensor system capable of measuring cerebrovascular and cognitive state through multimodal physiological monitoring compatible with flight helmet form factors, supporting operator workload and fatigue assessment for rotary-wing platforms.
Nirsense specializes in NIRS, EEG, and transcranial direct current stimulation sensor systems for aircrew state assessment. The vendor's recent portfolio includes a $2.65 million DARPA Phase II SBIR on multimodal aircrew state assessment (awarded January 2025, completing June 2026) and operates exclusively as a prime contractor under small business set-asides on federal research and development contracts with no subcontract activity. All work is performed at the Richmond headquarters.
