About this award

Teledyne Scientific & Imaging, LLC was awarded a $6.26 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for Space Power Conversion Electronics (SPCE). The contract, awarded July 25, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of May 16, 2025, supports DARPA's initiative to develop compact, radiation-hardened power conversion technologies for space applications. Under the originating solicitation, Teledyne is developing point-of-load voltage converters capable of achieving 85% conversion efficiency from 48V input to 1V output with power density exceeding 500W/in³ and radiation tolerance greater than 75MeV-cm²/mg. The work is being performed in Thousand Oaks, California, and this contract award carries no set-aside designation.

The project leverages specialized subcontractor support, including Texas A&M University's Cyclotron Institute for radiation testing services (awarded May 21, 2024), The Pennsylvania State University for research and development on silicon carbide materials (awarded September 13, 2023), and NTT Advanced Technology Corporation for 4-inch gallium nitride on silicon carbide substrates (awarded September 5, 2023). These subcontracts reflect the technical complexity of developing radiation-hardened power electronics for space-based systems, combining expertise in materials science, radiation effects testing, and advanced semiconductor fabrication. Teledyne Scientific & Imaging, as a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, brings substantial experience in advanced electronic components and defense research and development to this critical DARPA initiative.
