About the company
Aura Technologies, LLC (doing business as Aura), a small for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Durham, North Carolina, competes as a prime contractor on Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I, II, and III awards for the Department of Defense, with 98% of its recent awards under total small business set-asides. The company's capability portfolio centers on advanced technology research and development for defense applications, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, space-based sensor systems, additive manufacturing, and weapons systems integration.
Aura's customer base concentrates heavily on Department of the Army programs. The top five funding agencies account for 73% of awards by count but the concentration by dollar value is extreme: the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) represents 10 awards carrying $130.5 million in combined potential value, accounting for 98% of the vendor's total portfolio dollars. The Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center's Ammunition Office follows at $6.3 million across six awards, while the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory holds eleven awards worth $4.3 million, the Department of the Navy Naval Air Warfare Center five awards worth $2.9 million, and the Department of the Navy Office of Naval Research three awards worth $300 thousand. The gap between award count and dollar concentration reflects Aura's dependence on a small number of high-value Phase III SBIR delivery orders anchored by two indefinite delivery vehicles with the Army: contract W911NF19D0004 supports six task orders worth $18.6 million, and contract W911NF21D0002 supports two task orders worth $10.3 million.
Representative prime work includes a $9.999 million Phase III SBIR delivery order from RDECOM for SmartThread Digital Thread development (awarded November 2023, completing November 2027), a $5.074 million Phase III SBIR delivery order from RDECOM (awarded January 2023, completing January 2025), and recent Phase I SBIR awards including a $239,997 Marine Corps augmented reality vehicle maintenance and training systems contract (awarded March 2026) and a $239,999 Naval Sea Systems Command contract for MVDC Fault DLI Relay research supporting the Space-Based Infrared System High program (awarded June 2025). Aura's activity has declined in recent years — three awards in 2022 and 2023, two in both 2024 and 2025, and one to date in 2026 — with only two awards (combined potential value $10.2 million) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The vendor holds a single identified subcontract role: a cyber-physical security and AI-enabled data-conversion research award under Booz Allen Hamilton (subcontract date October 2025). Aura's SBIR Phase III footprint and Army RDECOM indefinite delivery vehicles position it as a specialist in transitioning defense R&D concepts into operational systems, with primary exposure to Army AI and logistics modernization rather than full-and-open prime competitions.
