About this award

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $26.1 million definitive contract to Lockheed Martin Corporation for space power conversion electronics using gallium nitride field-effect transistors and ultra-high-density point-of-load converters for smaller-sizes and radiation-tolerance (GHOST) on August 17, 2023.

The contract operates on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis with an ultimate completion date of October 16, 2027. Place of performance is Sand Lake, Florida. The originating pre-solicitation, posted September 22, 2022, sought proposals to develop compact point-of-load voltage converters achieving an 85% conversion rate from 48V input to 1V output with over 500W/in³ power density and radiation tolerance exceeding 75MeV-cm²/mg across multiple development phases. DARPA anticipated awarding approximately $60 million across multiple contracts for radiation-hardened transistor and converter development, with Phase One awards expected in May 2023.

EPC Space LLC performed as a subcontractor on Phase 1 work (subaward dated August 28, 2024), with The Regents of the University of Colorado providing research and development support across Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 innovation technology efforts (subaward dated December 5, 2023).
