The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) awarded MZA Associates Corporation, a veteran-owned small business based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a $1.8 million Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to develop fast wavefront sensing technology for mitigating aero-optical effects. This total small business set-aside contract, awarded on August 5, 2025, will run through November 5, 2027, under a firm fixed-price arrangement. The aero-optical effects addressed by this research are degradations in optical system performance caused by turbulence in the air surrounding aircraft and directed energy platforms—a critical challenge for military applications including high-energy laser systems and precision optical sensors that AFRL prioritizes for advanced defense capabilities. MZA Associates Corporation brings substantial relevant expertise to this effort, having established itself as a key technology partner for the Department of Defense in directed energy systems, optical solutions, and beam control technologies through multiple SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) awards. The company's existing $11.15 million indefinite delivery contract with Naval Sea Systems Command for beam control system integration and the Airborne High Energy Laser prototype demonstrator demonstrates its specialized capabilities in this technical domain. Through this Phase II SBIR award, MZA will advance its wavefront sensing innovations from initial feasibility demonstrations to mature prototype development, supporting AFRL's mission to enhance optical and directed energy system performance across military platforms.
