This is a federal contract award by the Air Force Research Laboratory to Honeywell International Inc. for the "Lattice Optical Clock with Photonic Integrated Circuits (LOCPIC)" project. The contract is valued at $7,138,113 and has a final completion date of August 30, 2021. The contract is not set aside for any specific business category. The LOCPIC project aims to develop a prototype optical clock with stability over 1,000 times better than any commercially available clock, using a compact physics package less than 0.5 liters in volume and consuming less than 10 watts of power. This represents a significant advancement in cold atom sensor technology with transformative applications for both civilian and military timing applications. The award includes subcontract work with Yale University, the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Northern Arizona University to support the research and development effort. The overall project was originally solicited by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) through a Broad Agency Announcement for its Atomic-Photonic Integration program, which is focused on developing high-performance, portable atom-based positioning, navigation, and timing devices, as well as atom-based gyroscopes.
