Target Arm Secures Key Air Force Contract to Revolutionize Autonomous Drone Operations
eTradeWire News/10792432
Contract is for Robotic Arm Launch and Recovery (Ralar) System for Ground-based Drone Operations in Dynamic Environments: On-the-Move
RIDGEFIELD, Conn. - eTradeWire -- Target Arm Inc. announces it has been selected by AFWERX for an SBIR Phase I contract in the amount of $75,000 focused on Ralar to address the most pressing challenges in the Department of the Air Force (DAF). The Air Force Research Laboratory and AFWERX have partnered to streamline the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) process by accelerating the small business experience through faster proposal to award timelines, changing the pool of potential applicants by expanding opportunities to small business and eliminating bureaucratic overhead by continually implementing process improvement changes in contract execution. The DAF began offering the Open Topic SBIR/STTR program in 2018 which expanded the range of innovations the DAF funded and now as of January 13th, Target Arm started its journey to create and provide innovative capabilities that will strengthen the national defense of the United States of America.
Target Arm CEO and Founder Jeffrey McChesney shared his excitement about the pivotal opportunity, stating, "This is a transformative moment as we introduce Ralar, our newest innovation, to the Air Force, addressing some of its most pressing challenges. With Ralar and its sister product, Tular, we're unlocking unprecedented capabilities for our warfighters, enabling autonomous launch and recovery of drones while on the move. In the wake of the rapid escalation in drone usage seen in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, our technology is poised to redefine mission execution—enhancing airbase protection, counter-drone defense, and flexible defense-in-depth strategies. We're even enabling hands-free swarm drone operations. These breakthroughs are designed to ensure our forces maintain a decisive edge on the battlefield." The announcement underscores Target Arm's commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that empower the Air Force to meet the evolving demands of modern warfare.
