About this award

Intelligent Fiber Optic Systems Corporation (Ifos), a small business based in Milpitas, California, has been awarded a $186,468 Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I contract by NASA's Shared Services Center to develop optical gyro distributed temperature compensation technology for precision orbital power beaming applications. The contract, awarded on September 29, 2025, carries a total small business set-aside designation and is structured as a firm fixed-price definitive contract with an ultimate completion date of October 28, 2026. This research and development effort aligns with Ifos's demonstrated expertise in advanced optical sensing systems and photonic integrated circuits, capabilities the company has leveraged across multiple previous federal awards from aerospace and defense agencies.

The STTR Phase I funding represents a foundational research effort to validate the technical feasibility of temperature compensation mechanisms for optical gyroscopes used in precision orbital power beaming systems. As a civilian space technology initiative, this work supports NASA's advancement of high-precision pointing and stabilization capabilities essential for space-based power transmission applications. Ifos's track record of securing SBIR and STTR contracts from agencies including Air Force Research Laboratory and the Office of the Secretary of Defense demonstrates the company's capability to successfully execute federally-funded research in emerging photonic and sensing technologies with aerospace applications.
