Awardee

Parallel Flight Technologies

Details

USDA Phase 2 grant to integrate Parallel Flight's heavy-lift hybrid drone with Drone Amplified's IGNIS aerial-ignition system, targeting roughly 1,000 acres of prescribed burning per flight for wildfire risk reduction.

USDA SBIR Phase 2 awards run roughly 24 months, so this August 2021 award's period of performance ended around 2023. It was itself the successor to the company's USDA Phase I (NIFA project 1022879, Sept 2020 to April 2021). No Phase III or further USDA award located. Parallel Flight Technologies remains an operating company and is still raising capital.
