Nonlinear Control Strategies, Inc. announces it has been selected by AFWERX for an SBIR Phase II Contract in the amount of $749,993 focused on Predictive Modeling of Emerging Nonlinear Functional Materials.
Nonlinear’s new software product development, Simulase_TMDC, an adaptation of the company’s successful semiconductor epitaxy modeling software, has the goal of investigating its potential to fill capability gaps 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 a faster proposal to award timelines, changing the pool of potential applicants by expanding opportunities to small business and losing 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 on July 15, 2022, Nonlinear Control Strategies, Inc. will start its journey to create and provide innovative capabilities that will strengthen the national defense of the United States of America.
About Nonlinear Control Strategies, Inc.
