The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) awarded a $1.25M Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to Daedalus under a Total Small Business set-aside designation. The firm fixed-price purchase order, with an ultimate completion date of April 24, 2027, supports the development of resilient non-GPS positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) solutions designed for contested environments. This research addresses a critical capability gap for the Department of Defense, as GPS signals are vulnerable to jamming and spoofing in contested operational theaters, requiring alternative PNT technologies that can function reliably when conventional systems are degraded or denied. Daedalus will perform the work at its facility in San Antonio, Texas. The SBIR Phase II award represents continuation funding following successful Phase I development, enabling the company to advance prototype development and validation of resilient PNT technologies. The research contributes to AFRL's broader mission of maintaining U.S. technological superiority in aerospace applications and supports the Defense Department's strategic focus on competing effectively in GPS-denied environments. The completion of this effort is expected to yield capabilities applicable across multiple Air Force platforms and operations requiring assured navigation in adversarial conditions.
