About this award
This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by the Department of the Army to Mesodyne Inc., a small disadvantaged business, for the development of compact, silent, and fuel-flexible electricity generators to increase the endurance of drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The contract, valued at $249,947.83, is a firm-fixed-price definitive contract set aside for total small business participation. The research aims to advance Mesodyne's technology that converts various fuels to electricity via light, using combustion to heat nanophotonic materials to incandescence, which then drives photovoltaic cells. This approach seeks to increase drone and UAV endurance up to ten times over traditional battery-only solutions. Mesodyne has received multiple SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) awards from the Department of Defense, including the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), as well as a Phase II SBIR grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to commercialize its novel power generation technology.
