About this award
General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems Group has been awarded a $1.52 million Cooperative Agreement by a civilian federal agency to develop and demonstrate a high pulse energy, 486 nanometer blue laser system designed for space-based Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) Earth observation missions. The contract, awarded on February 1, 2021, carries a completion date of March 30, 2026, and will be performed at General Atomics' facility in San Diego, California. This effort represents a significant investment in advancing laser technology capabilities for remote sensing applications, leveraging General Atomics' established expertise in aerospace and defense technologies, particularly in high-energy laser systems and space-qualified components.
The award was not set aside for any specific business category, reflecting General Atomics' status as a large, established prime contractor. The company brings substantial relevant experience to this effort through its extensive portfolio of federal contracts and research programs, including previous work on high-energy laser rapid prototyping and participation in NASA's Rapid Spacecraft Acquisition IV contract worth $6 billion for spacecraft and related services. General Atomics' demonstrated capability in developing advanced laser-driven systems, coupled with its track record of delivering specialized aerospace and defense technologies to federal agencies, positions the company well to successfully execute the development and demonstration of this blue laser system for Earth observation applications.
