Communication technology stack flexibility
The topic mentions "ready-to-implement secure V2X communication (such as C-V2X (5G/4G/LTE), Satellite, etc.) or other communication technologies." Is there a preference among these, or is the choice left to the proposer? Are proposals using novel or proprietary communication mechanisms (provided they meet documented latency and security requirements) considered responsive?

There is no stated preference among specific technologies. The choice is left to SBIR Applicants; selection should be based on considerations such as cost, latency, security, scalability, and expected users. Proposals that utilize novel or proprietary communication approaches may be considered responsive, provided within budget, having strong justification, and presenting great potential to find government partners in Phase II.
