Advocate for #SBIR #Reauthorization in FY22
The SBIR program must be reauthorized every five years and it has to be done this year by September 30th or the entire program is in jeopardy. Fortunately, the House just added an amendment to the FY2023 NDAA that will reauthorize SBIRs. Thank you to those members for your leadership and for ensuring this extremely valuable program continues. Now it is on to the Senate, where passage of the SBIR reauthorization is in question.
If you would like to advocate for this program, please select this link to be able to advocate for passage with your members:

Here is what OSD says about the importance of SBIRs: OUSD(R&E) is extremely concerned that the program has not yet been reauthorized, as the program and the small businesses that participate in the program are a vital part of the DoD R&D enterprise. SBIR and STTR provide a unique and critical funding source to develop some of the most important technologies for the DoD. The Department is concerned that any gaps or delays in reauthorization will cause irreparable harm to the small business community and have an adverse impact on national security.

Memorial Day
Today we pause as a nation to express our gratitude and pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. On Memorial Day and every day, we honor their service, we remember their valor, and we embrace those they left behind. We will NEVER forget.

Always good to celebrate a great film with old flying buddies. Including Chris Browne, the new head of Udvar-Hazy (second from the right).
Maverick trained with Laser Guided Training Rounds (LGTRs) that CoAspire is modifying for GPS training under a DoN Phase II SBIR.
