About Pliant Energy Systems Inc.
Pliant Energy Systems Inc., a Brooklyn, New York-based developer of advanced autonomous vehicle and propulsion technologies, operates exclusively as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal research and development awards, with no subcontract activity and no participation in set-aside vehicles. The company's federal footprint consists of ten prime awards totaling $17.9 million in combined potential value, with $12.1 million obligated to date, spanning research and development in physical and engineering sciences across five customer agencies.
The Office of Naval Research dominates Pliant's customer base, accounting for six of ten awards and $17.6 million in combined potential value — roughly 98% of the company's federal award dollars. Pliant's core capability is the design and development of propeller-less, stealth-optimized autonomous underwater and amphibious vehicles for mine countermeasure operations. Representative work includes a $8.01 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract awarded April 25, 2024, for development of the Stealthy, Autonomous, Propeller-Less, Agile (SAPA) vehicle, scheduled for completion August 19, 2026; a $3.04 million SBIR Phase III action awarded August 13, 2025, through August 12, 2028, for continued research and integration of self-charging capability into these vehicles; and a $4.42 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract awarded August 17, 2021, for development of an AI-enabled autonomous amphibious vehicle, completed July 1, 2024. A single Department of the Army SBIR Phase I award of $250 thousand on April 13, 2026, addresses alternative propulsion concepts under a total small business set-aside. The remaining three awards involve the Department of Agriculture, National Science Foundation, and Department of Energy Office of Science.
Activity is sporadic — one award annually across 2019, 2021, 2024, 2025, and 2026 — with two awards ($8.3 million combined potential value) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore exposing the company to recompete risk in that window. Pliant's award portfolio clusters within defense R&D services and applied research PSC categories, with four awards under national defense R&D services and two under broader R&D management and support roles.
