Program Pathways

Six lanes into federal procurement.

From open-topic SBIR to sole-source Phase III, WHL is positioned across every standard federal pathway. Each lane is mapped to a filed patent, a working prototype, or a coordinated prime relationship.

AFWERX / SpaceWERX SBIR Open Topic

SANDS (CBM+ Logistics) submission-ready for A26-Dxxx. Phase I → Phase II → Phase III via Patent 8 sole-source for the Governed Execution OS. Open Topic eligible across ETHOS/SANDS profiles.

Navy Zenith UUV Power

ONR / NAVSEA PMS 406. Patent 22 six-gate WPT admissibility for unmanned underwater vehicle wireless power. 2–3 weeks to submit.

DARPA / AFRL / ONR Research Engagements

Governed Execution OS architecturally-distinct from existing TA-1 / TA-2 / TA-3 stacks. White papers and capability briefs under NDA.

OTA & MTA Agreements

Other Transaction Authority and Master Task Agreement engagements via prime contractors. WHL subs on novel-capability OTAs where the deterministic governance substrate is the differentiator.

SBIR Phase III Sole-Source

Patent 8 (Governed Execution OS) qualifies WHL for sole-source Phase III procurement under FAR 6.302-5. Standing readiness for any sponsor needing direct transition.

FFRDC & UARC Collaboration

MITRE, Lincoln Lab, APL, GTRI. Co-authored publication and joint-deliverable engagements. Hardware-attested governance is a natural fit for FFRDC red-team and assessment work.

Prime Partnerships

Source-available and hardware-interlock licensing for primes.

Booz Allen, SAIC, Leidos, CACI

Source-available tiers for prime contractor integration into existing C2, intel, and cyber programs. Receipt-chain audit integration available on request.

Anduril, Shield AI, Skydio

Defense autonomy primes integrating governed authorization for kill-chain and autonomous-platform control. Hardware-enforced enable-line semantics map directly to existing autonomy stacks.

Pratt & Whitney / Lockheed / RTX subs

Hardware-interlock licensing (DECC) for high-reliability sub-systems. Composition-bound NiCr shield primitive available for next-gen platform hardening.

System Integrators (LMCO, NG, BAE)

Strategic licensing of the Governed Execution OS for next-gen platform programs. Patent 8 sole-source pathway available for integrator-led transitions.
