It depends - some agencies you can apply directly without doing a phase 1. Others you need talk to the TPOC of the Phase 1 to find out the process or you have to be invited.

In the current environment - I would contact the TPOC - it could just be stuck in limbo.

SBIRs have been mucked up since last fall. The program lapsed and it just got reauthorized for certain departments. Without that reauth only those who had phase 1's could apply for phase 2's.

Are there benchmarks available to compare vanilla wireguard to fips wireguard?

We used it for a new Defense/Aerospace projects. Language-wise it's fine although verbose. Intent was to separate similar IP so there was no claim of cross contamination. Built-in threading and a robust standard library is nice.

Tool-wise - refactoring was a bit of a pain.

Very different use case. It's for one-off secure file transfers.

FWIW - I work in aerospace. I believe this is talking about their FAA Designated Engineering Representatives (DERs). They are employed directly by the company or are consultants - they are subject matter experts in their domain. They act as the FAA delegate within the company. They generally have authority that goes well beyond the typical employee or QA person.

The ones I have worked with have no problem telling management to go pound sand when they are pushing schedule.

There were a lot of waivers back in the day. A couple big companies (Boeing) still use it.

From my experience, it seems to be the people that learned PASCAL first for some reason.

This works until someone tries to vertically align something like a table or a line that is wrapped.

^This - we're trying to use one to partially automate some system engineering type activities.

It's great for reviews where any given reviewer could be expected to have a misunderstanding of certain details or skip a section (RAG somewhat helps this) - but it's frustrating for artifact generation where missing details cascade through the project.

As great as the technology (right now) it seems so far from reliable business process automation.

Do you have any resources you could link to - for those that are curious?

FWIW - it happens in aerospace - ARINC 651/653
