This National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project, funded through the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084), aims to extend the range of on-hand wireless communications devices to austere and remote environments. The $246,858 award to Set Point Solutions LLC, a HUBZone certified small business, will enable the development of the Propeller-enabled Projectile Assisted Repeater/Relay of Transmissions (PARROT) technology. This innovation is expected to benefit public safety agencies and outdoor enthusiasts by facilitating communication and geolocation capabilities in areas with limited infrastructure. The project will focus on engineering compact, rugged electronic components to enable short-range ballistic deployment of the PARROT device. No sub-awards are planned for this one-year effort, which commenced on Dec 1, 2023.
