Phase I Support (Concept & Feasibility)
Supporting SBIR Phase I efforts by establishing technical feasibility and defining a clear development path.
Capabilities include:
- Concept development and technical definition
- Feasibility studies and trade analysis
- Modeling and simulation
- Initial system architecture design
- Prototype planning and risk assessment
- Phase I proposal technical support (as needed)
Our approach ensures a strong foundation for Phase II transition and follow-on funding.
Phase II Support (Development & Validation)
RhinoDyne enables the transition from concept to working system through structured engineering execution.
Capabilities include:
- Prototype design, build, and integration
