Missile Defense Agency SBIR and STTR Programs
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs issue solicitations once per year. MDA participates within the Department of Defense (DoD) .3 and .B solicitation, which is issued simultaneously in the August timeframe. MDA makes SBIR/STTR Phase I awards up to $100k and the nominal Phase II award amount is $1.0M. Previous SBIR and STTR topics, including the most recent SBIR 08.3 and STTR 08.B topics, are available on the DoD SBIR/STTR website.

The goal of the MDA SBIR/STTR Program is to prioritize projects at the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) level, address BMDS gaps or foster new BMDS capabilities and to increase award amounts on projects based upon increased relevance to the BMDS.

The MDA SBIR program also issues one Phase II Transition (P2T) solicitation per year. The purpose of the P2T program is to encourage the transition of SBIR projects into the BMDS. Only firms with active DoD SBIR Phase II contracts are eligible to participate in the P2T program.

NASA - www.nasa.gov (Booth 25)

Since its inception in 1958, NASA has accomplished many great scientific and technological feats in air and space. NASA technology also has been adapted for many non-aerospace uses by the private sector. NASA remains a leading force in scientific research and in stimulating public interest in aerospace exploration, as well as science and technology in general. Perhaps more importantly, our exploration of space has taught us to view Earth, ourselves, and the universe in a new way.

NASA's mission is to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery, and aeronautics research and conducts its work through four mission directorates:
•          Aeronautics:  pioneers and proves new flight technologies that improve our ability to explore and which have practical applications on Earth.
•          Exploration Systems: creates new capabilities and spacecraft for affordable, sustainable human and robotic exploration.
•          Science: explores the Earth, moon, Mars and beyond; charts the best route of discovery; and reaps the benefits of Earth and space exploration for society.
•          Space Operations provides critical enabling technologies for much of the rest of NASA through the space shuttle, the International Space Station and flight support.
In the next 20 years, NASA will be laying the groundwork for sending humans not only beyond Earth's orbit, but further into space than they've ever been.

Though nearly 50 years old, NASA is only beginning the most exciting part of its existence.
