About the company
Hover Inc., a Seattle-based self-certified small disadvantaged business, develops autonomous systems and artificial intelligence computing platforms for aerospace and defense applications, competing as a prime contractor exclusively under the Total Small Business set-aside across SBIR and STTR programs. The manufacturer of goods specializes in flight computers for AI and autonomy, detect-and-avoid systems for military aircraft, and low size-weight-power-and-cost airborne computing platforms, with all six federal awards concentrated in small-business innovation research vehicles.
Hover's customer footprint splits evenly between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center (three awards, $1.6 million combined potential value) and the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (three awards, $1.4 million combined potential value), accounting for 100% of recent awards and covering $3 million in combined potential value. The two agencies rank identically across both award count and dollar concentration — tight focus, little diversification. NASA funding anchors Hover's recent activity: a $1,274,879 SBIR Phase II definitive contract awarded on September 30, 2026 (ultimate completion September 30, 2028) for flight computer research; a $159,949 SBIR Phase I purchase order from July 25, 2022 for autonomy platform development; and a $156,459 SBIR Phase I award from September 29, 2025 for flight computer development for AI and autonomy. Air Force Research Laboratory work includes a $1,249,971 SBIR Phase II purchase order (awarded August 1, 2025, completing February 8, 2027) on detect-and-avoid systems for military aircraft, a $74,840 STTR Phase I purchase order (May 14, 2024) on the same detect-and-avoid application, and a $109,940 STTR Phase I purchase order (December 13, 2023) for low-SWAP-C airborne computing platforms. All awards carry firm fixed-price structures set aside for small businesses.
Activity has remained thin but consistent — one award per year through 2023, then accelerating to two awards in 2025 and one in 2026. Two awards (combined potential value $2.5 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. Hover holds no positions on parent IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs; all work flows directly through SBIR and STTR program vehicles. The vendor holds no recorded subcontract relationships and operates as a 100% prime footprint. Capability concentration in research and development (six awards under NAICS "Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences") and defense-related applied research positions Hover narrowly in the pre-commercialization technology development market, with no apparent transition into production contracts or commercial derivatives.
