SixMap Inc. announces it has been selected by AFWERX for a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract in the amount of $1.23 million focused on preemptive exposure management to address the most pressing cyber-attack surface challenges facing the Department of the Air Force (DAF).
The Air Force Research Laboratory and AFWERX have partnered to streamline the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) process by accelerating the small business experience through faster proposal to award timelines, changing the pool of potential applicants by expanding opportunities to small business and eliminating bureaucratic overhead by continually implementing process improvement changes in contract execution. The DAF began offering the Open Topic SBIR/STTR program in 2018, which expanded the range of innovations the DAF funded, and now as of May 22, 2025, SixMap will continue its journey to create and provide innovative capabilities that strengthen the national defense of the United States of America.
Jason Kaplan, CEO at SixMap Inc.:
“In a world where the U.S. Air Force is aggressively modernizing its digital infrastructure to support the complex missions of tomorrow, it must become more dynamic, agile, and autonomous without creating new network exposures. SixMap is honored to be selected by AFWERX to enable the Air Force to manage these exposures preemptively, not reactively, even as it innovates game-changing new capabilities that reshape its attack surface on a daily basis.”
