Triton Systems, Inc., a small business based in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, has been awarded a $246,359 firm fixed-price contract by the Naval Sea Systems Command to conduct research and development services under Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Topic Number N251-043 for the Space-Based Infrared System High (SBIRS High) program. This Phase I effort is designated as a total small business set-aside and is scheduled for completion by July 17, 2026.

SBIRS High is managed by the Department of Defense under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway with an Acquisition Category IC designation, encompassing both space and ground segments that require significant technological development across infrared sensors, data processing, automation, and visualization applications. Triton Systems' Phase I research effort will contribute to the broader ecosystem of innovation that includes numerous small businesses participating in SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer awards, complementing larger prime contractors such as Lockheed Martin. The company's selection for this award reflects its demonstrated expertise in advanced aerospace and defense technologies, supported by its existing indefinite delivery contracts with Naval Sea Systems Command totaling over $4.9 billion in potential value.
