About this award
Ozark Integrated Circuits Inc., a small business specializing in custom analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits and high-temperature sensing systems, was awarded a $10.8M definitive contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency on March 1, 2024, to develop the High Operational Temperature Sensors (HOTS) program. This cost-plus-fixed-fee effort aims to create high-bandwidth, high-dynamic-range sensing technology capable of operating at elevated temperatures, with performance scheduled for completion by December 29, 2025. The work will be performed in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The contract contains no small business set-aside designation, and Ozark has engaged four major subcontractors to support the development effort: Raytheon Company (RMD division) for Phase I transistor mask set design and fabrication; General Electric Company (GE Research division) for silicon carbide JFET and gallium nitride HEMT development; RTX Corporation (Raytheon Technologies Research Center) for multi-scale modeling and sensor performance evaluation; and Interdisciplinary Consulting Corp for completion of high-temperature, MHz-bandwidth dynamic pressure sensor development work.
This DARPA investment in advanced sensor technology directly supports the agency's focus on next-generation defense capabilities and addresses critical capability gaps in extreme environment instrumentation. Ozark's established expertise in ruggedized microelectronics for harsh environments, combined with the specialized capabilities of its subcontractors in semiconductor fabrication, materials characterization, and sensor validation, positions the team to advance state-of-the-art high-temperature sensing for potential applications across hypersonic systems, directed energy weapons, space exploration, and other high-performance defense systems.
