About this award
This is a $749,819 firm-fixed-price Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II contract awarded by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to Mesodyne Inc., a small disadvantaged business. The contract is for the development of a novel, efficient power generation system for extended-range unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The technology aims to significantly increase the endurance of drones by converting various fuels to electricity through a unique light-based conversion process, using combustion to heat nanophotonic materials to incandescence, which then drive photovoltaic cells. This approach could potentially extend the operational times of UAVs up to ten times longer than traditional battery-only solutions. The contract has a completion date of December 12, 2024 and was awarded on March 11, 2022.
