The companies being funded will fill crucial capability gaps. Without APFIT funding, these capabilities could take years longer to field.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The National Defense Authorization Act of FY22 established APFIT as a competitive, merit-based program for innovative and mature technologies and products that can meet warfighter demands but currently lack the necessary funding to field. \u00a0Individual funding awards are limited to $10M-$50M for each defense program. Eleven DoD program offices will receive FY23 APFIT funding. These program offices will in turn use that funding to procure innovative technologies from small businesses or nontraditional defense contractor vendors, as listed below.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Commercial Satellite Communications Terminals, U.S. Marine Corps, $15.0M, Bascom Hunter Technologies, Louisiana\n<ul>\n<li>Establishes a fully automated production line and initial procurement of transportable satellite terminals to provide assured Naval capability to leverage the latest Low Earth Orbit and Mid Earth Orbit satellite communication constellations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Common Air-Launched Munitions Radio, U.S. Air Force, $10.0M, Integrated Solutions for Systems, Inc., Alabama\n<ul>\n<li>Initial low rate procurement of software defined munitions radios and Technical Data Package to support integration of weapons data links in future USAF weapons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Integrated Air Defense Cameras, Defense Innovation Unit, $16.77M, Teleidoscope, California\n<ul>\n<li>Procurement of initial upgraded electro optical\/infrared cameras with enhanced capabilities to improve airspace awareness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Minuteman III Code Wheel Replacement, Defense Logistics Agency, $10.0M, BC Engineering Products, New Jersey\n<ul>\n<li>Procurement of new code wheels for replacement of units in the Minuteman III Missile that are ~40 years beyond planned service life using advanced manufacturing techniques and processes to retain form, fit, and function.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Mixed Reality Pilot Training Devices, U.S. Marine Corps, $10.0M, Bowhead Professional &amp; Technical Solutions, LLC, Virginia\n<ul>\n<li>Procurement of affordable, smaller, mixed-reality T-45C flight training simulators to augment legacy full-size flight simulators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Modern Commercial Weather Satellites, U.S. Space Force, $10.3M, Tomorrow.io, Massachusetts\n<ul>\n<li>Procurement and launch of two affordable commercial weather sensing satellites to augment the existing commercially-owned, managed, and sustained weather constellation to support weather data-as-a-service use by the military.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Multi-Platform Anti-Jam Global Positioning System Antennas, U.S. Army, $19.97M, Mayflower Communications, Inc., Massachusetts\n<ul>\n<li>Accelerated procurement of sufficient quantities to achieve optimum price break of anti-jam antennas for fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Network Enhancements for Contested Environments, U.S. Navy, $10.0M, Adaptive Dynamics Inc, California and Caliola Engineering, Colorado\n<ul>\n<li>Procurement and integration of software into existing joint tactical radio systems that leverage modified software techniques for enhancing communications in contested environments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Tactical Passive Radar for Counter Unmanned Air Systems (UAS), U.S. Army, $10.0M, Hidden Level, Inc., New York\n<ul>\n<li>Procurement of platform agnostic, day\/night, modular passive radar capability for small UAS detection and tracking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) Range Extension using Beyond-Line-of-Sight Communications, U.S. Navy, $10.0M, Maritime Applied Physics Corp., Maryland\n<ul>\n<li>Initial low rate procurement of USVs and supporting communication systems to enable beyond-line-of-site operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) Capable Fixed-Wing Intelligence, Surveillance &amp; Reconnaissance Small UAS, U.S. Special Operations Command, $20.0M, Quantum-Systems Inc., California\n<ul>\n<li>Accelerated procurement of Fixed-Wing Small UAS with integrated VTOL capabilities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>About USD(R&amp;E)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD(R&amp;E) is the Chief Technology Officer of the Department of Defense.
