About the company
Trident Sensing, Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small disadvantaged business based in Ogden, Utah, develops unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) sensors and wildfire detection technology for federal research agencies as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides exclusively. The company operates across SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) Phase I and Phase II contracts with NASA and the Air Force Research Laboratory, as well as federal grant research with NOAA and the USDA, with ten awards totaling $6.1 million in combined potential value across ten years of activity.
Trident Sensing's capability portfolio centers on UAS-based wildfire monitoring, sensor development, and autonomous systems integration. Representative work includes a $1.27 million NASA SBIR Phase II contract awarded June 2023 for UAS traffic management prototyping to enable 24-hour aerial firefighting operations (Park City, Utah, completion September 2027); a $1.9 million Air Force Research Laboratory SBIR definitive contract awarded July 2024 for autonomous positioning and navigation software modules integrated into 3D-printed airframes powered from aircraft accessory connectors (Washington Terrace, Utah, completion May 2026); and a $1.25 million Air Force Research Laboratory purchase order awarded August 2025 for counter-small unmanned aircraft systems passive detection, tracking, and kinetic kill capabilities for contingency response force operations (Washington Terrace, Utah, completion March 2027). More recently, Trident Sensing received a $1.27 million NASA SBIR Phase II award on October 1, 2026 for a compact UAS sensor for distributed mapping of wildfire plumes (ultimate completion September 2028).
Customer concentration splits between NASA's Shared Services Center (5 awards, $2.9 million combined potential value) and the Air Force Research Laboratory (2 awards, $3.1 million combined potential value), which together anchor 70% of the award footprint by value. The Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture has placed 2 awards, and NOAA has placed 1. Awards are categorized primarily under physical engineering and life sciences R&D (4 awards) and national defense R&D services (2 awards). Three awards carrying $3.8 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure in that window. Trident Sensing operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no subcontract footprint. Federal grant work includes a NOAA project grant on extreme event modeling and data fusion for decision support systems (awarded August 2024, completion January 2025) and prior USDA SBIR grants totaling over $750,000 for airborne wildfire mapping utilizing thermal infrared cameras and multi-platform fire-map processing (awarded September 2022, completion December 2024).
