SBIR Phase II — Coastal Defense (Patrick Space Force Base)
$1.25M SBIR Phase II award (contract FA8649-23-P-0059, topic X224-ODCSO2) to Picogrid for coastal defense sensor integration work at Patrick Space Force Base.
The SBIR Phase II effort (Dec 2022 - Sep 2024) adapted Picogrid's Lander (mobile sensor hardware) and Orion (cloud-based control software) platform into a Coastal Defense (CODE) configuration for Patrick Space Force Base, a Florida launch facility. The work focused on optimizing computer-vision detection of marine vessels, automated flagging of irregular traffic patterns, and large-scale deployment for comprehensive perimeter security, addressing documented vessel-trespassing and unauthorized land-boundary incidents at the base. Martin Slosarik served as principal investigator, with Zane Mountcastle as business contact.
