About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $1.8M cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to Systems & Processes Engineering Corporation (SPEC), a veteran-owned small business based in Austin, Texas, under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase II. The contract, set aside for small businesses, funds the development of a dual-purpose laser range finder and lidar sensor, with work to be performed at SPEC's Austin facility and completion targeted for November 2027. This award represents Phase II advancement of technology originally developed under Phase I SBIR funding, demonstrating the company's capability to mature advanced sensing systems for Air Force applications.
SPEC brings substantial expertise in advanced defense technologies, including electronic warfare, radar systems, and quantum sensing capabilities developed through prior prime contracts with the Department of the Air Force, Army, Navy, and NASA. The company's track record includes multiple SBIR awards and an active $7M Army IDIQ vehicle focused on digital radio frequency memory technologies. This laser range finder and lidar development effort aligns with the Air Force's broader investment in advanced sensing and targeting technologies for defense applications and builds on SPEC's demonstrated competency in miniaturized, eye-safe sensor systems for military platforms.
