MDA hypersonic threat detection and signature modeling R&D (SBIR)
Missile Defense Agency efforts to detect, track, and characterize dim hypersonic threats, including UV/VIS/near-IR observable modeling compatible with JANNAF EPSS tools, SBIR topics under the DoW SBIR 2027 BAA, funding for Missile Defense System sensing and discrimination, and congressional oversight of hypersonic defense.

Activity
30 days back, 14 ahead · hollow = scheduledWhat's happening
Updated 6d agoMDA has three SBIR topics under the DoW SBIR 2027 BAA, one of them seeking UV/VIS/near-IR observable modeling of dim hypersonic configurations. Q&A opens 2026-12-02 and proposals are due 2027-01-06. The other two topics cover multi-fidelity transfer learning for AI integration into the Missile Defense System and a rapidly deployable aerial interdiction cluster. The items show no other hearings or votes.
