About this award

Sri International was awarded a definitive contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on April 2, 2024, for research and development services related to a DARPA research project. The contract, valued at $16.8 million with a completion date of May 1, 2026, is structured as a Cost Plus Fixed Fee arrangement with no small business set-aside. Work will be performed in Princeton, New Jersey. Sri International, a non-profit research and development organization headquartered in Menlo Park, California, brings extensive experience in advanced scientific and technical research across defense and civilian domains, leveraging its multidisciplinary expertise in sensor technologies, autonomous systems, and specialized engineering solutions.

The contract involves three primary subcontractors supporting distinct technical workstreams. Twinleaf LLC, a woman-owned small business specializing in quantum and atomic-based magnetometer technologies, is providing overall sensor design and construction support, including sensor head and control/readout electronics for the MACARONI program. Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration is contributing fundamental noise analysis and experimental measurements of sensor performance characteristics across various frequency ranges. George Mason University is developing a tunable radiofrequency atomic magnetometer design for use as an electrically small receiver. This collaborative team structure combines Sri International's program integration capabilities with specialized technical expertise from established research institutions and advanced sensor manufacturers to advance DARPA's magnetometer and sensing technology objectives.
