About this award

Windlift Inc. was awarded an $11.4 million delivery order by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to develop an airborne power generator system, with work to be completed by September 12, 2025. This cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order was issued under Windlift's larger $30 million indefinite delivery contract with ONR's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The company will perform the work in Durham, North Carolina, and the contract does not utilize a set-aside designation. The delivery order represents a two-year effort to design, develop, and demonstrate an unmanned aerial vehicle prototype system capable of generating electricity from high-altitude wind resources, with potential applications for naval operations.

Windlift Inc. is a wind energy engineering and software company specializing in innovative offshore wind solutions through its airborne power generation technology. The company has an established relationship with ONR through multiple SBIR awards, including previous Phase I and Phase III contracts, and has also collaborated with the Army Futures Command and received Department of Energy funding to advance floating offshore platform capabilities. This delivery order advances the company's ongoing research and development efforts to mature airborne wind energy systems for potential Department of the Navy applications.
