As the founder and Chief, SDA TAP Lab, my organization depends on sponsorship from the SBIR STTR program. SpaceWERX has been our biggest ally and the Lab could not be successful without them. We deliver space defense systems Stimulate small business innovation Stear advanced research across academia Develop technical leaders Align requirements across government Reduce waste, increase delivery speed Scott Brodeur | DTI
A lab built for tracking the sky, Fuses sensors with sharp AI. With custody tight, They maintain every sight— Space objects can’t hide when they try.
The dinosaurs (generals and admirals) laughed in the mid 2000s as the word on the street was “backyard space” which they said was never going to happen. Welp it looks like it did happen just as predicted and the commies got our backs against the wall!! Although our backyard got going long before the 2000s. My father is responsible for hacking a satellite from our back yard in 1984. Mr T had NORAD on the blower and the whole neighborhood came out to see me and dad “tune” up on I think Galaxy-1 which is old CuBand stuff. Free WWF wrestling for the whole neighborhood. Bahahahaha Yellow Rain anyone?? 💥 the secret is out which is hardly a secret anymore now read the guide and look at the sky. https://open.substack.com/pub/defenseforum/p/tracking-the-high-frontier-a-guide
The advancements in technology that has occurred as a result of the Lab as a result of the team work, collaboration and sharing of ideas has been great to be a part of and see first hand. Keep it up SDA TAP Lab!
The Lab's current plan to award TACFI and STRATFI contracts for the companies developing space battle management prototypes would be impacted.
Sean Allen & Marcantonio Global appreciates you very much as we have had some Centurions come into the program and develop some great capabilities- increasing readiness for Golden Dome. Hat tip and looking to continue supporting in 2026.
We really need Congress to support The SBIR program for the future. It’s not certain it will be reauthorized. Surprised there is so little chatter on social media as we have some of the best researchers idle and considering alternate careers. Small business by definition can’t float people indefinitely.
