Under the programme, 21 small businesses will be awarded four-year, fixed contracts totalling more than $550m.

The combined worth of contracts includes over $100m in USAF funding, more than $100m in small business innovation research (SBIR) grants and over $350m in private investment.

This contract follows the Phase 2 SBIR contracts awarded to Edgybees by AFWERX last year.

“Whether it’s manned or unmanned aircrafts, ground control, or software systems, Edgybees will continue to seamlessly integrate its offering into USAF technologies to provide them with real-time actionable insights that improve precise decision-making in training and operations.
