The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $180K Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to Hedgefog Research Inc., a small business manufacturer based in San Pedro, California, for development of a TAPS flowmeter. The contract, awarded on September 23, 2024, carries a total small business set-aside designation and is structured as a firm fixed-price purchase order with an ultimate completion date of June 23, 2025. Hedgefog Research Inc. specializes in advanced technology research and development across defense, aerospace, and commercial sectors, with demonstrated expertise in SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs through multiple prior awards from defense agencies including the Army, Naval Air Warfare Center, and Department of Defense Medical Command.

SBIR Phase I contracts represent initial feasibility studies that typically fund early-stage research to evaluate the technical merit and commercial potential of innovative concepts. Hedgefog's track record of securing successive SBIR awards across multiple defense agencies indicates capability in developing technologies with dual-use applications.
