This Pathfinder Deep Learning initiative, awarded on October 21, 2024, is designated as a total small business set-aside and carries a firm fixed-price structure with an ultimate completion date of May 20, 2025. The contract represents DTRA's continued investment in innovative technological solutions through the SBIR program, which supports small businesses in developing cutting-edge research with potential dual-use applications for national defense.
KBSI brings substantial expertise to this engagement, having established itself as a key SBIR contractor across multiple federal agencies including the Naval Air Warfare Center, Missile Defense Agency, Office of Naval Research, and Air Force Research Laboratory. The company's demonstrated capabilities in artificial intelligence, deep learning, cybersecurity, and systems engineering position it well to advance DTRA's technological objectives.
