Sub-sectors
sbir-phase-iiiair-gap-softwareair-force-rd
Why this matters

SBIR Phase III transitions early-stage defense R&D into production; air-gap systems isolate critical military networks from external threats.

Supply-chain signal

Signals Air Force investment in isolated software infrastructure; likely drives demand for secure development tools and air-gap-compatible deployment platforms.

U.S.–China competition angle

Air-gap software hardens U.S. military networks against Chinese cyber espionage and supply-chain compromise in critical defense systems.
