About this award
Raytheon Company, Advanced Products & Solutions division, was awarded a $7.32 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on March 7, 2025, for the Heterogenous Adaptively Produced Photonic Interfaces (HAPPI) program. The contract extends through September 14, 2026, with performance conducted in Tewksbury, Massachusetts. This competitive award carries no set-aside designation and represents one of multiple anticipated awards under DARPA's broader $30 million HAPPI initiative, which seeks revolutionary advances in three-dimensional chip-to-chip and intra-chip optical routing for integrated photonic microsystems. The program requires demonstration of specific technical metrics including optical loss per link below 1 dB, link arrays supporting up to 1,000 x 1,000 channels, and operation across a 400-1,800 nanometer wavelength range.
Under the two-phase program structure, Raytheon will conduct an initial 18-month feasibility phase to prove the viability of 3D routing in integrated photonics, followed by an 18-month phase demonstrating array density and manufacturability. The award aligns with DARPA's mission to enable a 1,000-fold increase in information transmission density within microsystems through photonic signaling technologies, with applications spanning both commercial and defense sectors. As a subsidiary of RTX Corporation, Raytheon leverages its extensive expertise in advanced electronics, photonic integrated circuits, and semiconductor technologies to deliver innovative solutions supporting U.S. defense and national security priorities.
