Army Phase III. Small Business Innovation Research Program Review.

摘要

The U.S. Army is pleased to inform Congress, the Defense community, and the general public of the accomplishments of Army contractors within the scope of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program. Through the Army's SBIR Program, small businesses have begun tearing down the technological and scientific barriers that had impeded progress in areas of concern to our nation's defense. The Army, in funding research and development efforts by small businesses, has been able to seize and retain the technological initiatives that are so vital in this era of change and challenge. This Army Phase III Review focuses on twenty-one projects which the Army feels deserve special recognition. The contractors that performed this work have achieved significant innovations in fields such as membrane technology, artificial intelligence, radar, weather forecasting, and ultrasonic spectroscopy. Although these companies are small in size, they are characterized by the wide scope of their vision, capabilities, dedication, and talents that make outstanding achievements possible. Many of the contractors would have been unable to fund their research and development without benefit of the SBIR Program. (SDW)
