$1.2M Phase II after a Phase I prototype hit its milestones

Defense technology company: Deep tech: defense and aerospace

The challenge

A company coming out of a successful DoD Phase I had six weeks to convert prototype results into a Phase II proposal, and needed an end user inside the service to sponsor transition. Without that sponsorship, strong technology still fails the military relevance test.

What we did

  • Translated Phase I test results into transition-focused work packages tied to an identified end user need.
  • Wrote the technical volume, transition plan and cost volume against the solicitation checklist.
  • Ran a compliance pass against every instruction in the solicitation before submission through DSIP.

The result

A Phase II award of $1.2M over two years, with a named end user sponsor and a defined path to Phase III.
