About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded an Other Transaction Agreement to Forward Edge AI Inc. for $1,721,689.86 on July 1, 2024, to develop a cyber-compliant high-throughput router for contested space environments under the SBIR Direct to Phase 2 program. Forward Edge AI Inc., a minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in San Antonio, Texas, is the sole awardee. Performance is located in San Antonio, Texas, with an ultimate completion date of March 8, 2026. This OTA sits outside the FAR and represents the company's space communications security research capability, part of a broader portfolio spanning SBIR and STTR phases focused on quantum-resistant encryption and industrial control systems cybersecurity. A modification for payment office change has been issued. The award represents Phase 2 research and development activity within the SBIR vehicle structure, though contracted under Other Transaction authority rather than the standard FAR 49 U.S.C. § 4022 framework. Forward Edge AI self-performs all labor on its federal awards with no subcontractor engagement on record.
