About this award
Covar, LLC, a small disadvantaged business based in McLean, Virginia, was awarded a $249,957.12 firm fixed-price contract by the Department of the Army under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I. The contract, which carries a total small business set-aside designation, is focused on Topic A254-005: Automated Course of Action Generation. Work will be performed in West McLean, Virginia, with an ultimate completion date of February 4, 2026. The SBIR Program, managed by the Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center, is designed to stimulate technological innovation by small businesses and strengthen their role in meeting Department of Defense research and development needs, with emphasis on both advancing national defense capabilities and commercializing research results.
As a Phase I award, this contract represents the initial exploratory phase of Covar's research into automated course of action generation technologies. Covar's background in advanced technology research, algorithm development, and artificial intelligence systems positions the company to address this research objective. The relatively modest Phase I award amount is typical for SBIR programs, which serve as feasibility studies that may lead to larger Phase II and Phase III development and commercialization efforts. This award aligns with Covar's demonstrated track record of securing sophisticated research and development contracts across multiple defense agencies, including prior work with the Department of the Army, Defense Finance and Accounting Service, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
