SBIR AWARDS
For over 35 years, SDI has designed and manufactured industrial-grade surface mount accelerometers for military, inertial, defense, industrial, and R&D applications. SDI began with an SBIR award in the mid-1980s for a Star Wars program radiation-hardened accelerometer and went on to develop the industrial-grade MEMS DC accelerometers preferred by most defense programs.
