Btech Acoustics LLC

Btech Acoustics LLC, doing business as Btech, is a Rhode Island-based small business sole proprietorship specializing in advanced acoustic technologies and sensor development for defense and naval applications. Registered in SAM.gov since May 3, 2002, the company is headquartered in Barrington, Rhode Island, and has established itself as a key innovator within the defense research and development ecosystem through consistent participation in federal small business research programs. Btech leverages its core competency in acoustic sensor development and related electronic solutions to support the U.S. Navy's research and operational priorities, with a particular focus on technologies that serve naval agencies and defense acquisition programs requiring sophisticated acoustic capabilities.

Btech Acoustics has built an extensive portfolio of prime federal contract awards totaling approximately $6.9 million across multiple Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I and Phase II programs, all designated as total small business set-asides. The company's primary funding agencies include the Naval Sea Systems Command, Office of Naval Research, Naval Air Warfare Center, and Naval Education and Training Command, reflecting deep integration within the Navy's research apparatus. Btech's contract work encompasses the development and refinement of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) directional acoustic sensors, acoustically transparent mid-frequency sonar projectors, transducer arrays, low-noise electronics, and sensor assemblies designed for applications including underwater source detection, gunshot localization, small unmanned aerial vehicle tracking, and infrared surveillance support systems. The company has also served as a subcontractor to prime contractors Leidos, Inc. and The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC, providing specialized acoustic materials and services in support of broader defense contracting efforts. Btech's contract vehicles have included firm fixed-price and cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangements, with performance periods extending through 2028, demonstrating sustained federal confidence in the company's technical capabilities and execution track record for advanced acoustic technology development supporting major defense acquisition programs such as the Space-Based Infrared System High (SBIRS High).
