Program Narratives

MissionSmall Business Innovation Research

Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) explores innovative concepts pursuant to Public Law 106-554 (Small Business Reauthorization Act of 2000) and Public Law 107-50 (Small Business Technology Transfer Program Reauthorization Act of 2001), which mandates a two-phase competition for small businesses with innovative technology that can be commercialized. SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs will develop new dual-use technology for future Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Missile Defense System needs. Dual-use means that the technology will be judged on the potential for future private sector investment both as a vehicle for reducing development time and cost, unit costs of new Missile Defense System technology, and as a route to national economic growth through new commercial products. MDA will conduct the competition, award, and manage the contracts.
