About this award
Radiabeam Technologies, LLC, a Santa Monica-based small business specializing in advanced particle accelerator systems, has been awarded a $3.0 million Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The contract, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, calls for the development of a tunable, directional, and intense inverse Compton scattering (ICS) gamma-ray source. This award represents a Phase II advancement following successful Phase I research, with a cost-plus-fixed-fee structure and an ultimate completion date of February 6, 2026. Work will be performed in Santa Monica, California.
The ICS gamma-ray source technology developed under this contract has significant applications for defense and scientific research, leveraging Radiabeam's established expertise in radiation source development and particle accelerator design. Radiabeam's prior DARPA contract work on tunable gamma-ray beam systems and compact accelerator technologies positions the company well for this effort. The SBIR program aims to foster innovation in the small business sector while addressing critical national security and defense research needs, and this award reflects DARPA's investment in advancing novel radiation source capabilities that could support applications ranging from nondestructive evaluation to radiation effects testing.
