DHS Awards $9.8 Million for Small Companies to Develop Safety Know-how Prototypes
The Division of Homeland Safety (DHS) Small Enterprise Innovation Analysis (SBIR) Program awarded a complete of $9,782,624 million to small companies to additional develop applied sciences supposed to help homeland safety mission wants. The DHS SBIR program, administered by the DHS Science and Know-how Directorate (S&T), awarded Part II contracts below 9 matter areas within the 21.1 SBIR Solicitation issued in December 2020.
“Advancing applied sciences via analysis, growth, and innovation investments are key to equipping DHS frontline staff with the instruments they should safeguard our nation,” stated Kathryn Coulter Mitchell, Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Beneath Secretary for Science and Know-how. “Small companies are important to the execution of the DHS mission, they’re a key issue to a wholesome financial system. The SBIR Program permits us to work with small companies and promote a tradition of innovation that not solely helps financial development however finally advantages the American individuals.”
Primarily based on the feasibility of the applied sciences demonstrated of their Part I efforts, every Part II recipient was awarded roughly $1 million to construct and display a prototype over a two-year interval:
