About this award
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency awarded a $202,487 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to Radiabeam Technologies, LLC, a Santa Monica, California-based small business specializing in advanced particle accelerator and radiation technologies. The contract, awarded on December 16, 2019 with completion targeted for September 30, 2020, funds the development of DEEPBX, a novel modulated energy X-ray backscatter deep imager system designed to detect and identify threats concealed within or behind concrete walls. This total small business set-aside contract represents a fixed-price purchase order under the SBIR program, which supports innovation and technological advancement through small business participation in federal research initiatives.
Radiabeam Technologies' expertise in designing, manufacturing, and validating advanced radiation and accelerator systems positions the company to develop this specialized inspection capability for national security applications. The company's extensive track record includes prior SBIR and STTR program work with defense and research agencies including the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Air Force Research Laboratory, and Missile Defense Agency on projects involving high-energy X-ray sources and radiation technologies. The DEEPBX contract represents a Phase I exploratory effort to validate the feasibility of this innovative backscatter imaging approach, with potential follow-on funding available through subsequent SBIR phases if the initial research demonstrates promise.
