About this award
Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation's Space Systems Division was awarded a $6.7M definitive contract by the Air Force Research Laboratory on August 5, 2021, to develop multi-spectral laser technology. Under the cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, the company will develop a high-power laser system capable of emitting wavelengths between 350-1750 nanometers with either true broadband or discrete spectral lines spaced less than 50 nanometers apart. The system must achieve an objective power spectral density of 200 milliwatts per nanometer, total beam power of 280 watts, and beam quality (M2 value) below 1.5. The contract runs through December 31, 2025, with the place of performance in Redondo Beach, California. This is a non-set-aside competitive award with no small business designation.
The contract's supply chain includes multiple specialized subcontractors supporting the laser development effort. Corporate Computer Centers, Inc., a Woman-Owned Small Business, has received repeated awards for providing industrial optics, computer hardware, electronics, and assemblies since October 2021. Toptica Photonics Inc., a small business specializing in advanced laser systems and photonics instrumentation, was subcontracted in November 2021 for industrial optics support. Southland Technology, Inc., an Asian-Pacific American-owned technology integrator, supplied industrial optics and related services beginning in February 2022. More recently, Majestic12 Electronics, Inc., a Minority-Owned Small Disadvantaged Business, was awarded for printed circuit board manufacturing in September 2024. This subcontractor network reflects the technical complexity of the multi-spectral laser development program and the integration of specialized optical and electronic components required for the Air Force Research Laboratory's advanced photonics research objectives.
