About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $13.27 million definitive contract to HRL Laboratories, LLC for development of ultra-small, low-power, fieldable clocks capable of maintaining timing precision for one week, on March 1, 2023. The contract carries a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure with an ultimate completion date of April 1, 2027.
Place of performance is Malibu, California. The originating H6 program solicitation, posted May 17, 2022 with proposals due August 8, 2022, sought to demonstrate fully integrated tactical-grade clocks able to maintain timing precision for one week through three phases over 60 months, with program objectives to reduce clock size, power usage, and temperature dependence. HRL Laboratories is jointly owned by The Boeing Company and General Motors.
Subcontractors include Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (electromagnetic design and low-power semiconductor electronic design for a high-performance, low-power chip suitable for controlling a chip-scale atomic clock based on coherent population trapping spectroscopy of Cesium atoms, with award date May 21, 2025), the University of Colorado (design and build of a low-noise microwave oscillator circuit for coherent population trapping spectroscopy, award date May 19, 2025), and Femtoprint SA for wafer cutting (award date April 30, 2025).
