About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $750,000 definitive contract to N.p. Photonics, Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Tucson, Arizona, under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase II. The contract, which commenced on June 18, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of September 18, 2026, is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside. The project focuses on developing a low C-SWAP (cost, size, weight, and power) 2.1 micron transmitter for long-range electro-optical and infrared sensing applications. This represents a continuation of SBIR research efforts, where Phase II contracts typically involve prototype development and feasibility demonstration of innovations conceived during Phase I.
N.p. Photonics specializes in advanced photonic technologies and optical components for defense applications, with extensive experience executing SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) contracts across multiple Department of Defense agencies. The company's technical expertise in fiber lasers, infrared laser transmitters, and specialized optical systems aligns well with the transmitter development objectives of this contract. Work will be performed at the company's Tucson facility. The cost-plus fixed fee pricing structure is standard for research and development contracts of this nature, allowing flexibility as technical challenges emerge during the development of this advanced sensing technology.
