About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $4.89M firm fixed-price purchase order to Episys Science Inc., a minority-owned and woman-owned small business based in Poway, California, for the development of beyond line of sight autonomous wide field intelligent geolocation capabilities under the SBIR Phase III program. The contract, awarded on June 15, 2023, with completion targeted for September 30, 2026, represents a transition from research to commercialization under the Small Business Innovation Research initiative. This phase III effort builds upon successful Phase I and Phase II research to mature the geolocation technology toward operational deployment, leveraging Episys Science's established expertise in autonomous systems, tactical artificial intelligence, and advanced sensor technologies for defense applications.
Episys Science Inc. brings significant technical depth and federal contracting experience to this effort, having secured numerous SBIR awards from the Air Force Research Laboratory, DARPA, and the Department of the Army across complex autonomous systems and AI domains. The company operates within a robust portfolio of larger indefinite delivery vehicles, including participation in Air Force initiatives valued at nearly $1 billion for advanced battle management systems and network-centric warfare capabilities. The Poway, California facility will serve as the primary location of performance, positioning the company to deliver prototype development and engineering solutions that advance the Air Force's capabilities in autonomous surveillance and precision geolocation across extended operational ranges.
