Kitware Inc. was awarded a $7.38 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to develop invisible headlight technology. The contract supports research under DARPA's Invisible Headlights broad agency announcement seeking proposals for 3D vision using ambient thermal emissions without active illumination. Work will be performed by Kitware and subcontractor Spectrum Photonics in Clifton Park, New York over three years through June 2024 to generate experimental data and explore virtual tradespaces for autonomous navigation capabilities. The award funds continued development of modified sensors for near-term applications up to 75 mph and novel hyperdiversity sensors, advancing from performance modeling through stationary and mobile 3D sensing demonstrations.
