Why Participate in SBIR/STTR? Largest source of early stage R&D funds for small businesses Builds credibility of company’s research Data Rights retained for 5 years STTR: small business must have data rights agreement with research institution Small business can maintain ownership of equipment purchased under Phase I and Phase II Better alternative than mortgaging the house…again!

ACR's multi-dimensional UAV solution included an innovative composite airframe, an innovative electronic propulsion system, and a large bundle of varied sensors to characterize a target environment. As the Marine Corps took notice of "Silver Fox" from a cost/schedule/performance perspective, for warfighter convoy protection in Iraq, ACR continuously upgraded each of the bird's three systems and their components. In a further evolution, a humanitarian need for a robotic life-guard with enhanced life-saving capabilities was addressed by ACR's successor firm, Hydronalix. EMILY, a highly innovative USV, modeled the same three unmanned systems and components, but in a fast unsinkable surface vessel. In yet another evolution, a Naval need for improve port security was addressed by Hydronalix by re-modeling EMILY as a smart buoy -- the "Mobile Gateway" -- featuring innovative SBIR/STTR technologies throughout its core systems and components. $5M STTR $7M SBIR $4.2M in Government Phase III Funds/$6M+ +Commercial Sales
