About the company
Saltenna Inc., a small business limited liability company based in Delaplane, Virginia, conducts research and development for defense communication, sensing, and antenna systems as a prime contractor under the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs, operating 100% under total small business set-asides. Saltenna is a subsidiary of Mclean Capital, LLC, and specializes in advanced plasmonic antenna technology, resilient wireless communications for RF-denied environments, and subterranean wireless systems for counter-WMD missions.
The vendor's customer footprint concentrates heavily on DoD research agencies. The Air Force Research Laboratory dominates by both award count and potential value, accounting for 4 awards worth $3.4 million combined, anchored by a $1.25 million SBIR Phase II purchase order for PLASMONIX SIGNALSTORM (resilient wireless communications for RF-denied operations, completion June 2027) and a $2 million SBIR Phase II Sequential Tactical Funding Increase contract (completion July 2027). The Defense Threat Reduction Agency ranks second with 2 awards ($1.3 million combined) for subterranean wireless communications targeting counter-WMD missions — a $1.1 million SBIR Phase II definitive contract and a $159,599 Phase I effort. Single awards from the Department of the Army ($249,962 SBIR Phase I for advanced research, completion October 2026), the Naval Air Warfare Center ($239,650 R&D contract), and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ($180,000) complete the five-agency set. All five customer agencies and ten awards (100% coverage) appear in the source data.
Saltenna's SBIR and STTR work spans research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences (NAICS 541715) with primary focus on national defense R&D services across applied research, experimental development, and basic research activities. Activity has accelerated — one award in 2020, one in 2023, one in 2024, then five in 2025, and one in 2026 — with $5.4 million combined potential value across nine total awards. Two awards (combined potential value $3.2 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, facing recompete exposure. Combined dollars obligated sit at $5.3 million, representing 98% of combined potential value, indicating minimal delta between ceiling and actual obligation. The vendor maintains no subcontract footprint; all nine awards are prime positions. Saltenna's specialization in plasmonic antenna systems, RF communications resilience, and sensing technologies for defense applications positions the company as a niche SBIR performer serving Air Force Research Laboratory and DTRA innovation pipelines rather than a broad-based defense contractor.
