CORNERSTONE RESEARCH GROUP INC

Cornerstone Research Group Inc. specializes in applied research and development for defense and aerospace systems, with deep expertise in physical and engineering sciences. The company delivers advanced solutions in multi-spectrum target identification, polymer-based infrared lens alternatives to germanium, ultra-high-energy battery technologies, and heated tactical gear systems for extreme environments. Their work supports next-generation C5ISR capabilities, including combat identification, sensor integration, and soldier-worn equipment innovation, often through SBIR and STTR programs. Technical proficiency spans materials science, electro-optical system design, thermal management, and ruggedized power systems, with a focus on transitioning laboratory prototypes into field-deployable military hardware. The contractor maintains a consistent and primary relationship with the Department of Defense, delivering R&D services across Army, Air Force, and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)-aligned programs. Recent awards reflect direct support to DEVCOM C5ISR Center and other defense research entities focused on tactical survivability, sensor fidelity, and energy autonomy. Limited engagements with NASA and GSA indicate occasional collaboration on aerospace materials and procurement infrastructure, but DoD remains the dominant and strategic partner. The firm’s industry focus is firmly anchored in NAICS 541715—research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences excluding nanotechnology and biotechnology—where it operates as a niche provider of defense-oriented engineering solutions. Vertical specialization includes electro-optics, soldier systems, and advanced materials for military platforms, positioning the company as a responsive, mission-focused R&D partner for high-priority defense innovation needs. Cornerstone Research Group Inc. is a small business structured as a 2L entity, headquartered in Miamisburg, Ohio. While currently holding no formal government certifications, its consistent engagement in SBIR/STTR programs demonstrates alignment with federal innovation priorities and a proven ability to execute complex, technical R&D under strict defense requirements.
