In other words, it's not a Manhattan Project that is long tunnel until you develop your endgame; it is an incremental development with benefits all along its path.

If so, then tiny chunks of $100K SBIRs and STTRs are a waste of money. It would be like building 100s of hand-held telescopes when you need one big one. I think you should consider about whether this is something someone in their garage can just invent or whether you need an Intel-type fabrication plant. Have you thought about this? It doesn't appear that you have. Perhaps we need to build a multi-billion dollar fabrication plant to create carbon nanotubes. If so, then tiny chunks of $100K SBIRs and STTRs are a waste of money.
