About this award
Forward Photonics LLC, a small disadvantaged business manufacturer specializing in photonics and laser technologies based in Woburn, Massachusetts, has been awarded a $1.999 million Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract by the Office of Naval Research. This total small business set-aside definitive contract is structured as cost-plus-fixed-fee and carries a completion date of August 31, 2029. The award builds on Forward Photonics' established track record of delivering advanced laser systems and photonics solutions to defense agencies, including prior work on wavelength beam combination systems and high-brightness laser technologies through multiple SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs.
The Phase II designation indicates that Forward Photonics has successfully completed an initial feasibility study and is now progressing to further develop and demonstrate its proposed technology solution. Given the company's prior cooperative agreement focused on "Wavelength Beam Combination for Ultrabright Pumps" and its documented expertise in advanced laser illuminators and beam systems, this Phase II effort likely continues development in high-performance photonics applications for naval research objectives. The contract represents the Office of Naval Research's continued investment in small business-led innovation to advance critical defense technologies through the SBIR program.
