About this award

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI), a small business research and development firm based in Andover, Massachusetts, received a $1.15 million Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II contract from the Army Research Development and Engineering Command on July 20, 2023. The contract supports the development of Radar for Accelerated Breaching of Concrete Structures (RABCS), a system designed for non-destructive evaluation of thick concrete structures with varying strength and reinforcement characteristics. Under this firm fixed-price contract, PSI will partner with the University of Texas at Austin to build a prototype deployable RABCS system and evaluate its effectiveness against representative concrete test structures. The work is designated as a total small business set-aside and is scheduled for completion by January 31, 2026.

The STTR program, managed by the Army and other federal agencies, supports collaborative research between small businesses and academic institutions to accelerate the development of innovative technologies for government applications. PSI's involvement in this Phase II effort builds upon earlier STTR Phase I activities and positions the company to demonstrate technical viability and commercialization potential for ground-penetrating radar technology applicable to military breach operations and infrastructure assessment. The subcontract with UT Austin leverages the university's expertise in advanced sensor technology and computational modeling to enhance system design and validation, while PSI provides the primary systems integration and prototype development capabilities.
