About this award
Honeywell International Inc. was awarded a $5.2 million definitive contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to demonstrate the Quantum Apertures Program. The program aims to develop a portable radio frequency receiver system using Rydberg sensors with state-of-the-art sensitivity across a 10 MHz to 40 GHz spectrum for defense applications. Per the original solicitation, Honeywell will address improving receiver sensitivity and exploring applications such as sensor arrays and receiving arbitrary waveforms. Major subcontractors include Hyperlight Corporation, Quantum Valley Ideas Laboratories, and Menlo Systems Inc. to provide simulations, services outlined in the statement of work, and laser/comb systems respectively. The contract runs from July 2021 through March 2023 as a cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangement with performance at Honeywell's Minneapolis location. There is no set-aside designation.
