Barron Associates Receives Funding to Develop Continuous Blood Pressure Monitoring
Barron Associates’ Cardiovascular Hemodynamics Processing System (CHAMPS) is a reliable, easy-to-use, and comfortable (i.e., non-cuff-based) continuous (i.e., beat-to-beat) ambulatory BP monitor that can operate around the clock, even during activities of daily living (ADL). This new class of BP monitor will be an important addition to clinical practice, accurately and unobtrusively assessing individuals with established […]
Phase I Contract Award: Simple Mortar Augmentation for Repeated Targeting and Enhanced Range
Barron Associates has developed a simple, low-cost, mortar augmentation to improve range and targeting. The Phase I research will involve simulation analysis to verify the design and performance enhancements.
Barron Associates Awarded NEI Grant to Develop Vision Therapy Games
Barron Associates, Inc. has been awarded an SBIR Phase IIB Competing Renewal 2-year grant (2R44EY021079-05) from the National Eye Institute (NEI) to develop a commercial iCare software system providing effective and motivating vision therapy for children with non-strabismic amblyopia or convergence insufficiency.

Barron Associates Receives Grant to Develop Smart Sensors for Cystic Fibrosis Treatments
Barron Associates has received a grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute for the development of sensors that objectively monitor the duration and pattern of adherence to CF airway clearance and inhaled medication therapies. This Phase I SBIR research effort will provide accurate assessment of patient adherence to CF treatments as a tool […]
Hybrid Air/Water Vehicle Prototype Testing
Barron was awarded a Navy STTR contract to develop a hybrid vehicle that could operate both in air and underwater. The goal was to use air travel to rapidly reach a location and then dive underwater to engage submerged targets. Barron Associates designed and built AERODIVER, a collapsible heavy-lift quadcopter transport to carry a Remotely […]
Safe and Intelligent Surveying of Complex Environments with UAS Swarms
Barron Associates has been selected for award of an Air Force Phase I SBIR contract to develop the micro-Swarm Environmental Sensing (µSENS) technology to safely and efficiently gather high spatiotemporal resolution wind data to initialize diagnostic wind models. µSENS includes UAV platforms instrumented with meteorological sensors and swarm / path planning software to coordinate behaviors […]
Three Year Navy Contract for IDIQ Task Orders (Seaport-e)
Barron Associates has been awarded a three-year U.S. Navy Seaport-e contract with Prime Contractor status. Seaport-e is Navy’s high-efficiency acquisition channel through which over $8 Billion a year in IDIQ Task Orders are placed with companies that pre-compete to qualify.
Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Equipped for Air and Sea Locomotion
Barron Associates has been awarded a NAVY Phase I STTR contract to develop a hybrid unmanned vehicle capable of operating both in-air and underwater. The goal of the research is to design an autonomous vehicle that can cover much larger sections of the ocean in less time than a traditional Unmanned Underwater Vehicle. Barron’s vehicle […]
Agile Aerial Sensor System Tailored for In-Situ Cloud Measurements
Barron Associates was awarded a NASA Phase I SBIR contract to develop a novel atmospheric sensing platform.
