The best article on this subject. Everyone in the industry should read this. One of the featured companies is getting a SBIR Phase 3 most likely because of this article. One small quibble, the Space Development Agency (SDA) used a spiral development model where each subsequent phase (tranche) is a prototype building on the capability of the previous one, and thus uses RDT&E funds rather than procurement funds for its major efforts.
